The Kesslers Need Help
Donation protected
My name is Joanna and I have been very touched by The Kesslers. The matriarch, Mandi, is a friend of mine and her tale is of a journey to overcome tragedy by swallowing your pride. She continues to face obstacles- the definition of "when it rains it pours." I have learned much from her strength and bravery.
Mandi has worked as a Registered Nurse in labor and delivery for over 8 years. While she was bringing other children safely into this world, she was losing her eldest son. Kyle passed away in 2013 at the age of 15 due to complications from a brain injury he suffered when he was a baby.
Mandi is also the mother to Kelsey (17) who recently graduated from high school and will be attending college in the fall, Caleb (7), Callum (3), and the newest addition Chloe born August 29, 2015 (9 months).
After Kyle passed, Mandi suffered great emotional stress. It was not until the end of last year that she realized she had to put her life on hold and get herself well so she could be the rock she needed to be for her family. Mandi was out of work for 6 months after the birth of her daughter.
Shortly after Mandi returned to work, The Kesslers were evicted from their home this past May. They moved to a mobile home park. Just 5 weeks later on June 12th they were notfied they had until June 18th (6 days) to move again because the mobile home park was closing down. The Kesslers are now facing the prospect of being homeless.
Moving once is an expensive and stressful event. Moving twice in 5 weeks is a nightmare. I am hoping we can raise enough money to help the Kesslers with unexpected expenses such as renting a temporary place until they can find a more permanent home, motel rooms, meals out, and moving costs. These funds are needed as soon as possible. The Kesslers are still at the mobile home location packing and are waiting to be forced out.
Mandi is a strong leader who struggles with asking for help. I suggested we try this because she has already been through so much. I am hoping together we can ease some of this burden for this beautiful family.
Thank you.
