Hi, Melanie here.... Having known Max for 25 years, we learned that sadly, his wife, Rosie, passed away on June 9th. She had been battling cancer for years, with her health taking a turn for the worse when she fell and broke both hips a few months ago. Her husband, Max, has worked for me as a gardener, a fix-it guy, a car repairman, a Christmas tree decorator, and everything else I needed him to help me with over the years.

Her final arrangements were very costly, which were more than Max could ever afford. After selling everything he owns to help pay for them, he still had to get a loan from a friend to pay for final expenses. Staying in a room that a friend has temporarily provided, he is really needing help to find a place to live, pay his debts, and replace his truck and tools that he needs for his gardening work. Any amount, no matter how small, would be very helpful in his unfortunate situation.

Also, any resources or links for food, housing, or other services would be greatly appreciated!!!!
