Assist Terry and Haley in Their Time of Grief

I am asking for help to raise funds for Terry Cushing and Haley Ulve as they have unexpectedly lost a life partner and mother, Heather Anning. Heather was a friend and has been a second mother to my children for the last 15 years.

Heather was admitted to the hospital just before Christmas with pneumonia and ended up in Iowa City due to complications leading to organ failure. Heather's life was taken unexpectedly on January 8th of this year, leaving behind a daughter who is without her mother at the too young age of 16.

I am looking to help raise funds for upcoming expenses, maintaining bills, and allowing the two of them to grieve without worrying about the stress of finances. Unfortunately, there was no will and at this time, custody of Haley has required legal assistance. Haley’s preference is to stay with the one father figure that has remained by her side the last 15 years.

With an unexpected loss such as this, financial assistance is needed to aid in maintaining placement and allowing Haley to mourn the loss of her mother and not have to worry about losing a father as well. Any contribution helps.
