Charity's Lasting Legacy of Love

Hi, my name is Rachel, and I've started this fundraiser to help finance the funeral of my sister-in-law, Charity Rose Dixon Miller. Charity recently turned 40 and has left this world far too young. Charity found meaning in everything in life and had a positive and bubbly personality. She did her best to look on the bright side despite the many challenges she faced as a mother, daughter and wife. She was helpful, inclusive, tenacious, caring and generous.

When Charity was born, she was called Amanda, meaning "worthy of love". Then after the birth of her first four children, she changed her name to Charity, meaning "to give love". For the remainder of her life and now even in death, she did everything she could to impart love towards others, especially as a mother.

Charity was one of a family of 13 children and so growing up in such a lively household really instilled within her a love for children. Her mother, Leanna remembers that as a little girl, it was apparent “Amanda” had a strong innate inclination toward mothering lots of children. While other little girls around her would usually play with one doll at a time; Charity would gather every doll in the house and sit them on chairs all around the room. Of course, it was no surprise she gave birth to 9 beautiful children; Kendra (21), Tyler (18), Logan (17), Aubrey (16), Destiny (13), Harmony (11), Justice (10), Doktor (9) and Major (6).

Charity suffered from some disabilities, which were at times debilitating. So her husband Jacob retired from a successful career in the oil industry five years ago to provide full-time care for her. Charity's sudden passing has put added pressure on Jacob emotionally and financially, so I'm asking for your help to cover Charity's funeral costs.

Charity's final act of love was being an organ donor, and through her death, she has been able to help six people by donating her heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, and kidneys.

Here is Charity and Jacob with six of their children - notice how Charity put such though into dressing her children with such love and care

Thank you so much for your consideration and help. The Miller and Dixon families much appreciate your financial support.
