UPDATE: Grandma is with Jesus Now. Can you help Danielle?

UPDATE 6/20/25: Grandma and Danielle’s house needs a new electrical panel. Current panel is a Federal Pacific which is not illegal to have but it has been deemed a safety hazard and recommended it be replaced. Insurance companies are not fans of them either. I am thinking long term here.

Pricing as of right now with licensed electricians is $1,800. That price includes a new panel and new breakers. Also included is running new wiring so we can install additional lighting in the bathroom as what’s in there is horrible and hard to see even during the day. We’re also replacing a few outlets that are worn.

So, a friend suggested I get specific about this need since we’re running low on funds to cover the whole cost. That’s why I am reaching out to ask if there is anyone willing to donate toward this specific need or share this information. Your support is appreciated whether prayers, donations or sharing this info.

You never know what will happen when you answer someone’s call for help. What started out as fixing drywall in a garage soon completely changed into something I never saw coming and neither did the young lady I agreed to help.

I met a friend of my daughter, her name is Danielle and she is 29. We met for the first time when I responded to an SOS she put out on Facebook asking for anyone that could help with repairing the ceiling in her parents home. I thought it would be a quick fix. Turns out it was not.

Danielle grew up in this home. Her mom died a few years ago. Her dad had a stroke and is on disability. Her grandmother suffers from dementia and is 90 years old. Danielle has her own disabilities but despite everything, she is giving it her all to help grandma and dad.

Soon after I agreed to help her fix the garage ceiling, I learned that her dad went into the hospital. When he came out, he asked Danielle to move in with her grandmother. He had been living with grandma, taking care of her while Danielle lived in her parents home. Dad moved back to his home and Danielle moved in with her grandmother.

As I stood there listening to this young lady, my heart ached for her. I knew in that moment this was about to be bigger than I expected.

But I have been in this position before and I have seen the hand of God deliver again and again. There’s no reason to believe the Lord wouldn’t move this time too.

The focus now shifted to grandma‘s house. I found several things that needed to be fixed, mainly due to age.

Danielle had stepped out in faith hoping anyone, someone would answer the call.

The garage ceiling in her childhood home is in the rearview as the work needed now is making sure grandma’s house has everything she needs and is up to date.

That’s where you and me come in.

There are several small jobs that have been completed already and we’re so grateful for all the help and donations received to date. We are still on track to paint the outside of the home.

Danielle is carrying a big weight on her shoulders and we have a chance to gather around and lend her and grandma a hand. Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus.

If you feel led to give or participate, you can do what a few folks did already - reach out to me directly and donate or donate through this link.

This family has been through so much in the last several years and I would love to finish strong.

Danielle’s mom would have loved to have seen people come together for such a time as this to help her mother. Grandma is a veteran having served 8 years in the Air Force a long time ago.

Will you join me and be a part of another opportunity to bless someone else?

I can’t do this on my own and if the past fundraisers are any indication of how loving some of you are, I trust you will be there again whether in prayer, financial support, physical labor, or cheerleading. We can do great things together again!

Some of you were so instrumental in your support of Marie’s drain field project in 2020 and Terry's house project in 2023. Here we are- project #3 in 2025. I know - I can’t believe it!❤️

Exciting days are ahead! I can’t wait to see the end results!

Danielle and grandma keep the faith!!❤️

In His Service,

Jeanette Duby
