Hello everyone! My name is Ashley, daughter of the two lovely folks you see in this picture-Philip and Cherie Byrd. Anyone who knows them knows how selfless they are as well as loving and caring. They are also deserving of many good things, and I’m hoping to reach people to help them out.
They have had many things come at them in the last year or so, but specifically lots of financial burdens- one on top of the other! They spent months without their vehicle while not knowing when it would be fixed- when they finally got it back the air went out! While that may be an inconvenience for some, it was something that was rather costly they had to get fixed. After the car issues were resolved they started having plumbing issues. Started as a minor blockage, costing them about as much as the AC issues they had just dealt with in their car- another financial burden, but still somewhat of a manageable problem. This week the problem has grown into a full sewage repair issue under their house that is turning into a very costly burden for them that they MUST get fixed ASAP. In order to do so, they have to make financial decisions that will be hard to deal with on top of everything else my mom already has to see to. She is my dad's caretaker day in and day out since my dad's diagnosis of dementia over a year ago. As if that isn’t enough to see to and live through day after day, now they have to worry about what comes next. Me and my siblings do whatever we can to help in whatever ways we can. We love our parents and know how many lives they’ve touched and how many love them. In order to minimize financial burden on my parents, I am asking for help financially to ease what they are already going through, which is hard enough- any donation would be greatly appreciated. They are unaware I am reaching out for help for them, but they deserve everything good and no more hardships.
