My name is Mike Wofford.  My 38 year old daughter-in-law Vanessa passed away July 1 from Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS).  MDS is often referred to as a “bone marrow failure disorder” and is a type of cancer.  She leaves behind my son Matthew and their 4 children.  Gavin (12), Maverick (10), Wyatt (7) and Amelia (4).  We are all devastated as her passing was not expected and occurred quite suddenly.  The family will not only have funeral expenses but travel expenses back and forth from Idaho to California (Vanessa passed away at City of Hope in California) as well as daycare, family counseling, school expenses and the overall needs of caring for children that are this young and now without a mother.   Matthew and the kids need all the support both financially and emotionally that we can give right now so please if you can give whatever you can from your heart we appreciate whatever it is and are most thankful.
