Urgent Medical Move/Disabled Family

Donation protected
Thank you for considering this GoFundMe campaign. My name is Dale Walker and I just learned that my elderly friend Cathy and her disabled adult son Joshua need financial help to move cross-state Missouri to more affordable housing near family members who can assist them with their medical and other needs.

Cathy told me that Joshua was “born dead” but against all odds... he survived and is a remarkable young man of 34 years. Because of his problems at birth Joshua suffers from Epilepsy while Pseudo-Tumor Cerebra has robbed him of most of his vision in one eye. He has many other complications, but I’m sure you get the picture

Now in her 60’s and herself disabled by her arch-enemy Lupus, Cathy was forced to retire from her career in health care and needs our help to make this move become a possibility.

Cathy’s lease expires in August and she cannot afford the huge rent increase that comes with renewal. She has not been able to find affordable housing in her area and has turned to a cousin and her husband on the other side of Missouri who are willing to help her and Joshua get settled in near them for moral support where the cost of living is much more affordable. Cathy told me that making this move is the only way that she can find affordable housing that better meets their needs, but it’s going to take money that she just doesn’t have.

Cathy will be in need of some of the funds fairly quickly to cover deposits and application fees for the anticipated relocation. We have estimated that $3,500 will cover everything involved. This amount also includes replacing an oversized recliner that is necessary for her very large son to sleep in, as he can’t sleep in a flat bed. (This campaign is linked directly to Cathy’s bank account so all contributions go directly to her as they are received.)

Cathy is a very spiritual Christian who trusts and prays that God will help her find a way to make this urgent move. I have volunteered myself, family and friends to act as "Angels" to help Cathy and Joshua through this GoFundMe campaign.

I am asking for the support of my family, friends and colleagues and also the kindness of strangers who may have found this GoFundMe campaign to “Pay It Forward” giving whatever financial assistance you can afford to help Cathy and Joshua make their cross-state move. Donations of any size are welcomed no matter how small or large. Prayers for this family in need will also be greatly appreciated.

Thank You and May God Bless Us All
