Assist Eddie Lee Howard's Family with Essential Needs
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Latisha Shaw and I'm the granddaughter of Eddie Lee Howard. My grandmother is 89 years old. She moved back to the TriValley area 4 years ago. Since then, my mother has taken on the responsibility of taking her around to her doctor's appointments, picking up her prescriptions, taking her grocery shopping etc. My mother is not in the best condition herself, but she keeps going, because she loves her mother dearly.
Within my immediate family, we have experienced lots of trauma and death, which has really taken a toll on us mentally, but it's not in our DNA to give up. I watch my mom cater to her mother's every request and every call and at times it makes me sad, because we have a big family. My mother is on a limited fixed income. Buying take-out food, groceries and putting gas in her car weekly adds up, but she will never stop doing for her mother.
My grandmother knows the condition my mom is in health-wise, and she also knows she's on a fixed income, but she has no one else to call on. It's a blessing that she's still around at 89, however times are hard for one person to take on the bulk of the responsibility. Thank you for your time.
