Bless Riley and Family’s Path - Education & Financial Strain

Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Mae. Let me tell you a bit about this lovely woman and family that this Go-Fund-Me is intended for.

Riley, my dear best-friend, is a senior in high school who has faced many battles with overwhelming strength. Riley’s sweet mother, Mary, has been living in a hospital for 3 consistent years due to severe illness, fighting the good fight. (For her privacy, those are the details I will disclose).

While Mary has been living through treatments in the hospital, Mary’s mother graciously stepped up to take care of her daughters, Riley and Gianna (Riley’s younger sister). Through her selfless acts, the girls’ grandmother (Mary Claire) has taken care of them the entire duration of Mary’s intensive hospital living. What a serving soul.

Although the details dive much deeper than this surface level description, this wonderful family has endured much trial. Praise be to God that they have taken such wide strides in the uncertainty!

However, between medical bills, family separations, school and many more difficult factors, finances are tough. I have known this family my entire life, and they have been nothing but true reflections of hospitality.

Riley has immense intelligence and is planning to go to a four-year university to pursue education in her passions (In Fall of 2025). Even with financial aid, though, she would be in student debt of $20,000 within just one year. However, I have set the goal to $12,000 as a wonderful starting point, which would already be exceedingly and abundantly a blessing.

The Lord, Jesus, always makes a way and paves our paths. He uses everything for our good, and His Glory! As much as we take heart in that truth, we also are shown by God that we are meant to give. So, I set this Go-Fund-Me up for Riley’s education, asking that blessings may be poured onto her so that she is not financially burdened. In the case this even makes any money, may the rest go towards her loving family and all they have done.

Through all of the tribulation this family has encountered, they still walk through faith and rejuvenation of Jesus. I pray that in God’s Will, this family can be provided for just as they do for everyone else.

It is only by the Lord that anything is made possible. If you so generously choose to donate any amount, I pray blessings and abundance over your life. May God return your kindness to you, and grant you reward in Heaven.

Thank you so much for any assistance you provide - financial donation, prayer in the name of Jesus, or even reading this post to this point. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the deepest humility of my heart.

God bless you,
Mae
