Help Ann Through Her Time of Loss

On December 10th, my Daddy, Edward “Bay” Ates, had a massive heart attack and passed away at his home in Bernice. Six days later, my nephew, her grandson, died in a terrible car accident. My mother has now been left in a terrible financial hardship as she awaits her social security to be switched over to a widow’s pension, which is said to take up to 3 months and be less than 1/3 of what they had to live on before Dad passed away. They have raised a granddaughter since she was a baby, who is now 15. Mom will now carry that responsibility alone, with a very low income. But for up to 3 months, she will have ZERO income coming in. The bills do not stop coming. Lights, phones, food, necessities, medicine, doctors, and lots of final expenses have to be taken care of. We also need to get a headstone for Daddy’s grave site. I’m asking anyone who will to help me get things taken care of and reduce some of the stress she is under during a very difficult time of losing her husband of 51 years and her 29-year-old grandson in less than a week. Any donations will go straight to her account.

I will also make a Walmart and Amazon list for anyone who would like to help that way. She also has Facebook under Ann Ates where she can take Facebook payments, which do not take out any fees.

This is a giving family who has helped anytime a need has been presented to them. Now it’s time to give back to them. No amount is too small and very much appreciated.

If you can’t give, we ask that you pray for her and our family. God bless!
