Sweet Aunt Dee Dee needs your help!
Donation protected
My poor Aunt Dee Dee has fallen on hard times. So, I am reaching out to the online community to help return the favor to her for being such a great Aunt to me when I was a kid. Her 69th birthday is next week. I want to make it a special one.
She is now a widow, after selflessly caring for her late husband (RIP Uncle Ron!) through his battle with diabetes and depression. She suffered silently taking verbal and emotional abuse simply because of her strong belief in the sanctity of marriage. Uncle Ron’s passing has left her to fend for herself with his meager social security income. She was a housewife and since she didn’t work for over 20 years, she can only find work caring for elderly ladies in the community. She lives alone in their old modular home in rural Ohio on a plot of low-lying farmland that has flooded her house twice in the past decade, resulting in major damage and a need to raise the house further off the ground.
My poor Aunt Dee Dee just can’t catch a break. She was treated to a cruise by her daughter in 2010. It was the first time she had ever been on a cruise ship in her life and she was so excited! Sadly, when the trip was over she developed a balance disorder called "Mal de debarquement" Syndrome, a rare condition that occurs when the hair fibers inside the inner ear don't return to normal after being on a ship. She feels like she is constantly swaying while standing or walking, as though walking on a ship at sea. She lives alone and I'm afraid she will fall!
The money is officially donated to her treatment of MdDS and for repairs to her modular home after the last flood.
My Aunt Dee Dee is an honest woman. She helped raise me and my cousins. She deserves better!
Please help me help my Aunt Dee Dee!
