Donate to Rebuild The Heil's Family Life

I dedicated my working career to healing people as a death care worker/mortician. My visions of the future of memorialization birthed the idea for the event center style celebration of life and to provide a great VIP venue that caters to celebrations of all ages and is family-friendly.

As fate would have it, Covid hit, my world changed, and my focus shifted. I carried immense stress and anxiety and worked overtime caring for others in grief while my own had to be put on hold. It seemed like my world wouldn't stop spinning and I couldn't catch a break, one bad thing after another crashing down on myself and my family. I became very ill with recurrent systemic immune issues. We rode the landslide as long as possible, but knew we needed to get off of that toxic mountain that had become our new reality. The first chance I got to escape the avalanche that was suffocating us, we took a giant leap of faith.

We landed in a beautiful, mystical land with kindness and compassion. My children are happy here, as am I, with the new life we are building. Riding that landslide completely wiped us out of all liquid assets and left me without an income. Our world turned upside down, as did our finances. I am unable to work due to my own medical issues and need to be with my kids full-time, trying to heal us all from the tremendous losses we have endured.

If I ever helped you through dark and difficult times, companioned you in grief, or was just there as a friend who had your back, I am now asking for that care and compassion in return.

We lost our home, my business closed, livelihood stripped away, and my children watched the only life they ever knew disappear over a matter of months. We picked up what we could and headed out on a journey of recovery to build a new life.

We are so close to having power on our land. It's getting cold at night, and running generator gas is outrageously expensive. Our biggest roadblock is engineered house plans for a building permit. I have shopped around companies and they are wanting 10-15k for the plans.

We would be forever grateful for a warm winter with lights, not lanterns. Engineered plans, donated building materials, furnishings, and funds for plans and permits would give us a fighting chance at making our new life better and providing us with a home for healing.

We are trying to build a 1200 sq ft home out of 4 cargo containers.

Please help us rebuild a simple life. My children did not deserve this. Please help me give them a stable home so they can be grounded again. They are my number one priority, but I can't do it alone. It takes a village, and I need mine now.

Forever grateful,

Our family:

Heidi, Bradèe, Laramee, Zeauxee, Harlee, 5 cats, 2 dogs, 6 puppies, 4 pigs, and 2 lizards
