She needs me!
Donation protected
There are two ways in which I could share my story with you. The first is blunt and urgent, mirroring my current emotions. The second is detailed and potentially inspirational. I will share both versions, and I'll let you decide how long you'd like to spend reading my plea for help.
Version 1:
I need to move half-way across the country to help facilitate in the care of my Grandma, who has recently been diagnosed with cancer.
Version 2:
At 8 years old on January 15, 1995, My Grandmother, Myself, and my Mother who was currently six months pregnant, carrying my unborn baby-brother, were traveling to Ft. Lewis in Washington State, which was to be my Mother's new duty station in The United States Army. While en route we encountered a freak accident where in which several people were involved and injured, in an attempt to provide a means of emergency assistance to those in need, my Mother was run-over by a semi-truck, while myself and Grandmother stood frozen in shock by the horrific scene. Understandably, this event seemed to have caused the world itself, to stop spinning. My Mother had lost her life, in turn I lost my Mother, and my Grandmother lost her baby girl. Fast-forward 19 years, to present day, and I will recall for you my life in those years. I was well fed, I was sheltered, I was safe, but more importantly I was loved beyond measure by my two incredibly wonderful Grandparents. There was never a time I felt like a burden, or treated in anyway like I was not important. In 2012 My Grandmother and I experienced our next loss. The Passing of my Grandfather, a man whose honor and character was worth that of 10,000 men. Now, we've been hit with our latest test from the lord. My amazing, selfless, heroic Grandmother has been diagnosed with cancer; even typing the word gives me chills. The struggle is this: I am currently residing in California living paycheck-to-paycheck to make sure my daughters have everything they need. I need to re-locate to Colorado where my Grandmother is living to help in her care, during this difficult time. I am sincerely hoping from the very depths of my soul that you can help me give a small fraction of care and comfort back to the woman who has given me so much despite all she has lost. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post, even if you have nothing to donate, a small prayer in her honor will mean more than you know.
