We are the Woltersdorf family. A family of 8 girls and 4 boys. Plus my beautiful mother and amazing father. My parents have always done everything they could to give us everything we have ever needed. My father runs his own business helping the elderly with accessibility in the home, such as wheel chair ramps, roll in showers, grab bars and anything else they may need to help them live more comfortable. My mother has always helped my father on the office side of things and been at home taking care of us kids. She has homeschooled us all and taken care of the household and business. The hard part is no matter how hard they have worked to try and make the best life for us, it seems like life is consistently trying to keep them down. For the past ten years my father has been plagued with health issues. He has had multiple surgery’s on his heart and appendix. Which has lead to almost a breaking point for my family not only financially but especially emotionally. With every surgery his health seemed to deteriorate a little bit more. As a result of this being unable to consistently work has put us in a revolving tough spot. It seems like every time my parents seem to be getting ahold of things something happens. The latest was my dad needing to get a full knee replacement right after the holidays. Work has slowed to almost a stand still in the last two months and he has been immobile for the last month. My mother has had to go out and get a second to try and help the bills get paid and keep food on the table. So she is trying to work twice as hard, when she already works twice as hard as any mother I know. But it seems like we still are going backwards. My dad is getting better and I know work will pick up soon but I couldn’t just sit back and let this be just their problem. I know my parents are proud people that would have a hard time asking for help. So I’m doing it for them. My family means the world to me and we just need a little help. So if you find it on your heart to help us get thru this hard time we will be eternally grateful.
