Help SURPRISE Ms. Boyce
Donation protected
So, the first question Gofundme asks is "Why are you raising money for this person." Well, I'm raising money for Ms. Boyce because she needs it.
She normally food shops once per month, but last month she didn't have enough money because there was some issue about $145 she was supposed to get to pay for food. It's complicated and I didn't want to pry. She is a proud woman. Anyway, since she didn't get the $145, she didn't get groceries. That's just not right.
Why did I come up with $870 as the goal? Because that's $145 x 6 months to have as padding. That will give her peace of mind for 6 months that this won't happen again.
Here's what I know about Ms. Boyce:
She's humble & kind, sweet, soft spoken, proud, doesn't ask for help, didn't want more than a loaf of bread when I found out about her. I know she's 83, has diabetes, glaucoma and respiratory issues. She doesn't drive or have a car. She rents a small place. She's afraid right now to go get her own food (I'll be there for her.) She's Christian and she loves God! She told me "God sends you people in your life when you really need it." I'm her people!
She called today to thank us for all the food, necessities and the toaster oven. She said she was in shock & felt like she was in a daze when everything was dropped off because, and I quote, 'No one has ever done something like this before for me." She doesn't have much of any family left and no children.
Yes, I could have just dropped off the month's worth of food I bought, a new toaster oven for her to cook her favorite meal (fish sticks), and called it a day, but I couldn't stop there. I would like to surprise her with some extra money so she can live in peace, knowing she has a little padding to help her when she needs food or something extra.
I know I've done lots of fundraisers, and you've all been there to help me and I am so appreciative. You have helped me make such a difference. I really don't go "looking" for people to help as much as you might think. So, I know God has a hand in this.
If you have $5 or $10 to help her...surprise her...please consider. Ms. Boyce knows nothing about this gofundme or the surprise she is about to get! All the money from this gofundme will go to Ms. Boyce. After the money is raised, it will be put in her name and deposited in her account direct from Gofundme. Help me make a difference in her life. She's 83 and she shouldn't be worried about anything right now.
ANYTHING OVER THE GOAL WOULD BE AWESOME!
