Help My Mom Stay in Her Home During and After Dad's Illness
Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,
My name is Buzz, and I am reaching out with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for help. My beloved father, Bill, has recently been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, and the doctors have given him only six months to live. On top of this, Bill was also diagnosed with cirrhosis earlier this year, which has further impacted his health. This news has shattered our world and left us grappling with an uncertain future.
Why We Need Your Help:
For 28 years, Bill has been the loving husband to my mother, Jodi. She is disabled and lives on a fixed income. Losing her soulmate is already more than she can bear, but the prospect of having to leave their home and move away from her family is devastating. This home is not just a place; it’s a sanctuary filled with memories, love, and the essence of their life together. Moving away from this cherished space would be a profound loss for my Mom, especially during such a heart-wrenching time.
Our Goal:
We are seeking to raise enough funds to pay off the remaining mortgage on their home. This would allow my Mom to stay in the house where she has built a lifetime of memories with Bill, surrounded by the love and support of her family and friends. The amount we need to raise is significant, but with your help, we believe it’s possible. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to providing Jodi with the security and peace of mind she desperately needs.
Why This Is So Important:
My mom has been Bill’s devoted caretaker throughout his battle with cancer and his recent diagnosis of cirrhosis, sacrificing her own well-being to ensure his comfort. The emotional and physical toll of caring for a loved one with terminal illnesses is immense. The last thing she should have to worry about is being uprooted from her home and support system during such a heart-wrenching time. Ensuring she can remain in her home will provide her with the stability and comfort she so desperately needs as she faces life without Bill. This home is where she will grieve, heal, and eventually find a new normal. It’s a place where she feels safe and connected to the love and memories of her life with Bill.
A Tribute to Bill:
Bill has always been the rock of our family. He never missed a single little league game, taught all of us to drive, and has been a constant source of strength, wisdom, and unconditional love. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering support have touched so many lives. He is the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back and never ask for anything in return. Watching him endure this illness has been unbearable, and the thought of losing him is almost too much to bear. He deserves to know that Jodi will be taken care of and can remain in the home they have shared for nearly three decades. This would be a testament to his legacy and the life they built together.
How You Can Help:
Every single contribution, no matter the size, will make a monumental difference in our lives. Your generosity will help us ensure that Jodi can stay in her home and remain close to her support network during this incredibly difficult time. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please share our story with your network. Your support, prayers, and generosity mean more to us than words can express. We believe in the power of community and the kindness of strangers. Together, we can make a difference and provide my Mom with the stability she needs during this challenging period.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any help you can provide during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness and compassion will never be forgotten, and we are eternally grateful for your support.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Buzz
