BENEFIT FOR FRIEND IN CRISIS
Donation protected
Photo is of my friend at work, detailing vehicles. Please let me tell you about her with the hope that you will join me in helping her and her husband:
My friend's husband suffers from mental illness as a result of a stroke more than three years ago. On full disability, the amount that he receives pays the mortgage and a portion of the electric bill each month.
My friend has a brain injury and loss of dexterity. She can no longer do the fine seed beading she once enjoyed. At the time of the injury she was given a 20% chance to awaken and was declared dead four times. She was given a slim chance of recovering with any function at all.
Most things she does each day can be a challenge due to chronic pain. "Something always hurts." Employed as a car detailer, the physicality of this work is becoming more and more difficult. The emotional stress and financial needs are taking a toll, as well.
Vision problems have heightened and doctors have diagnosed that she needs a double cornea transplant. She is trying to obtain financial aid to provide coverage for this surgery.
On the lighter side, she loves to write poetry and has recently returned to singing, something she has always loved to do. Here is a lullaby she wrote to her daughter years ago:
All through the night I'm standing over you
And all through the night I'm watching over you
When bad dreams come
I'll be there, my baby, to tell you
Everything's gonna be all right.
And when you cry,
I'll be there, my baby, to tell you
You're nothing less than beautiful.
So don't you worry,
I'm your angel,
standing by.

I invite you to be an angel and help me help them! From my own pockets, I have provided a payment directly to their local PUD account for electric service, ordered a grocery gift card and a gasoline gift card.
All donations will be used to pay monthly expenses and lighten the physical and emotional load that my friend carries. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
