Aid for Justin and His Kids' Healing
Donation protected
I'm an owner of a small dog daycare and we've been trying hard to move our business, but since it's just myself and my fiancé, we HAD to find help because it's been too big of a job. So, we posted an ad and Justin responded. He has always been there for the last 2 months when we'd need someone to help and never asked for a lot of money. He just works odd jobs to support his 4 children and his wife, who was extremely ill, until last week when we had to move turf and he never showed up or messaged. We figured he was busy or just got sick of helping us move and all of the hard labor until we received a message that his wife had a heart attack and passed away the time he was supposed to help us.
Now, a man who works endless days to support his family has to take on not only the financial responsibility but the responsibility of trying to help his children through this nightmare, all before Mother's Day. I myself am a mom and we're so behind on our business I have to work on this holiday as well to try to get ready to open. We posted an ad once again on Facebook in the hopes we didn't have to keep moving 1800-pound rolls of turf alone, and Justin messaged. Even though his wife just passed, he has to work because he's trying to be able to bury her and have a funeral. He hasn't begged for anything, doesn't even know what this site is, and is helping us tomorrow (Mother's Day).
I am praying this will help him find a way to put his wife to rest, and am asking for a bit more than he asked me for in the hopes that maybe he'll be able to slow down afterward and just grieve and be able to be home with his 4 kids to help them grieve as well. Thank you so much, everyone. I was in shock reading the message and I can't even imagine what he's going through as he's got to stay strong and push just to find the funds to lay her to rest. If you can't donate, please share. I feel so horrible and hope this will help them.
