Helping Julie Burke with Expenses
Donation protected
Hi Everyone,
My name is Vicki Burke. I am the wife of Thad Burke, and daughter in law of Julie Burke and George Burke. Just recently, this family suffered a great loss of our dad, George Burke in tragic car accident.
As we are all devasted at the sudden loss, many questions come to mind. How are we going provide a proper service for George? How are we going to get many bills paid as Geaorge was a main holder of the household income? How is Julie now going to get back and forth to work now that their only vehicle was totaled in the accident?
But before we get into details of what the money raised will be used for, let me give you some background on George and Julie. George and Julie would have been married 36 years this coming September. They did everything together. They were eachother's life line. George and Julie loved the great outdoors and spent most of their summers and autumns in Taylor Reservoir, camping, fishing and hunting. They have a huge circle of friends that they love as family. George and Julie had two sons together, Thad and Eli Burke. Geoge also has children from a previous marriage. Their names are George, Michelle, Veronica, and Jeremy.
George and Julie were the kind of people you wanted to get to know. George was that "Man's Man", that always told you how it is and every one respected that. Julie, is very kind hearted, wouldn't hurt a fly type of soul. She loves everything and everyone. And everyone loves her. These two were inseperable.
George was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2010, and the VA kept him on a waiting list. He then sought out the help from the state and received Medicare, due to the disease and his unemployment status. He was finally approved to recieve Diasbility and Social Security.
This past Sunday, the Burke family was notified of their Dad's passing due to a car accident. We all gathered at the hospital to support one another and yet grieve. Then many questions started to rise. As I mentioned above, what are we to do?
So this is why I am asking for help. I do not recieve any of these funds as the money raised will go directly to her to help pay for funeral services, medical bills, utilities, mortgage payments and possibly get her a vehicle to use to get to and from work.
Any help would be very much appreciated, as I know she isn't looking for handouts, as she is too proud for that, but I do know she is looking for help. Help and support is what she needs because she just lost her better half, and is very lost in what to do right now.
So I thank you in advance in whatever you can do. This way, I know I tried to help her at my best and that's what I know she would be proud of.
Thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart.
