Mrs. Kathy Needs Your Blessings!!!!

My dear friends, this has to be one of the hardest things Ive ever had to do but our family is going through one of the most difficult times in our lives, especially my mom and I believe God blesses us with one another to help us through the tough times & rejoice together in the good times. My mom has taught me all of these things and anyone who knows me knows that I would do anything for my mom & vice versa. She is my world & my rock. Right now I have to be that rock for her but being a student myself and only able to work part time hours I am not in a financial position to help in the way she needs help right now. I am loving her with everything in me but unfortunately love doesn't pay for Wendell's funeral expenses nor the expenses she faces after laying him to rest. Anyone that knows her knows that she is truly one of the most loving, giving, compassionate, Godly, self sacrificing women you will ever meet. She has given up her own goals, passions, dreams and just recently her own home to care for her mom who is passed, her dad who is passed, Wendell who is now passed, myself, and she took in 2 twin boys at 29 days old and raised them as her own. These are only a few of the sacrifices she's made. She has been a 2nd mother (lovingly known to many as Mrs. Kathy or mom) to everyone who knows her and she has opened her home to so many who needed a warm bed and hot meal. She never meets a stranger and would give the shirt off of her back and the food off of her plate if it meant she could help someone else. She has been an angel right here on earth for so so many, including myself and this is a time in her life where she needs some angels too. Not only is she facing the loss of her husband of 30 years, she gave up her home to move into a nursing facility to better care for him and with his passing she is facing tremendous financial loss including her place at the facility. Allow me to explain her situation .... Not long before finding out that Wendell was in his last & final battle with cancer, it was brought to their attention that he had been paying on a life insurance policy he thought would more than take care of my mom but unfortunately he did not read the fine print. For years he had been investing in an accidental death policy which obviously would only pay out in the event Wendell were to pass in an accident. After finding out this devastating news, they sought out other policies but no company would insure him with such terminal health issues. No one anticipated him passing so quickly, least of all him and he put off making any type of funeral arrangements or preparations for his death at all. After visiting the funeral home this week we were faced with the excruciating process of planning his funeral from start to finish and mom was hit with the unbelievable prices to bury her husband, not to mention the cost of living at the nursing facility. The only method she has for paying these expenses is the Ford Glass Retirement policy Wendell had through his work which leaves her with very little at all to go on. She has no retirement herself because she spent the majority of her life caring for others and being a wife and a mom . She will only receive 60 percent of his pension and zero disability and will not bring in enough to continue living at the nursing facility. She will have to give them a 2 months notice and God willing she and I will eventually find a home together. As for now she is completely overwhelmed with stress, hurt, worry, and grief and I am feeling this along side her trying to figure out a way to ease her mind and help mend her broken heart. I am completely humbling myself on her behalf and reaching out to those of you who know and love her and know how much I love her and how important she is to me. I am beyond blessed that she is my mom but she's also been an incredible blessing to others and right now she needs some blessings in return. In lieu of flowers, I ask that you please consider donating to her instead. I can promise you that Wendell would want the same. He and I had a conversation 2 weeks ago regarding his last dying wishes and his biggest concern was moms well being and his biggest regret was not having everything in place for her once he passed. He asked that I take care of her and of course I always will as long as there is a breath in my body. I would give her the moon and stars if I could!! Love is something I have an abundance of but she really could use some financial help as well. More than Im capable of providing at this time in my life. I'm just asking to please be a blessing to her, as you have been blessed!! Instead of sending flowers, send a monetary gift that will go to an amazing cause and an even more amazing woman!! Thank you and God bless you all!!!!
