Help the family of Dona Alexander Rowe.

This is Dona Alexander Rowe, one of my most beloved best friends of 20 years, my soul sister. She was a wonderful Christian woman with a generous and loving soul and she has ALWAYS been one of the first people to lend a hand to someone else in need. She died on 8/23/23 unexpectedly of a heart attack. She was only 52 years old. Now I want to help her family. She has left behind a loving husband, Corey, and a wonderful 14-year-old daughter, Gracelynn. They live in the Houston, Texas area.

January 2016 was the beginning of a series of events that led us to here. She had a facial infection lanced in a Texas hospital and they overloaded her with fluids, which caused kidney failure and congestive heart failure. Her kidneys recovered, but her beautiful heart didn't. She went through several pacemaker surgeries, a MRSA infection at the pacemaker site, several bouts of pneumonia, and ended up unable to walk, having severe back pain from what turned out to be a congenital issue. And that's just the stuff that happened from 2016 to 2017! Dona lost her job in 2016 due to her health, her husband lost his the same year, and her little family has struggled ever since. It took a very long time for Dona to get approved for Social Security Disability.

Now, Corey is trying to pick up the pieces. He's navigating things on his own and has learned the hard way that both a husband and wife's names should be on all accounts. He's working so there's still income coming in, but they were struggling before Dona passed and I want to try to help him get some bills paid, especially the mortgage. Please help me do that if you're so inclined. Truly, every little bit helps! Thank you!
