Help Jim and Annette Through This Difficult Time

Jim and Annette have been family friends of mine for my entire life . When a family is in need, you lean towards your community for support to make a devastating situation a little less stressful.

Jim Sharrer is one of the kindest, most gentlest souls I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, but his life has not been without suffering from a young age. He married his sweetheart, my friend and most of you may know, Annette Perna. They have been married thirty-five years and have been together thirty-eight. They have been through every trial and tribulation together. In the first ten years of their marriage, Jim lost both parents quite young and from then on it was a decline for him. In 2002, Jim was severely hurt at Ford Motor Company and for the last twenty-two years, his wife, Annette has been his sole care-giver.

In the last two years, though, Jim was diagnosed with liver disease that has now turned into end stage liver failure. He is currently on Hospice and is not expected to live very much longer. His family is in a very big financial bind once he passes and they need your help - every little bit helps ! They need help with medical bills, medicines, expenses, and now that Jim is in such a severe and quick decline, Annette has not been able to leave his side so it's been very difficult for her to even think of finding a job. Jim has needed all of her attention. They have also had guardianship of their precious nine year old grandson since he was about two months old; you can see where they are the most dedicated people in the world.

This family is genuinely in need of our help. Please, if at all possible, find it in your hearts to help this caring family out. Thank you
