Help our mother and grandmother.
Donation protected
My name is Lynne Johnson. I am asking friends and family to help us fund my mother, Helen Shaw, in her move back to Tennessee from Maine. For those of you who don't know my mom, I'd like to share her story.
Helen is a Methodist minister who completed her Master's in theology at Emory University around 2004 after a long career in business. She came out of retirement several years ago and returned to her home state of Maine to minister in two Methodist churches in Searsport, Maine. She is 86 years old this June and needs to return to Tennessee to be with family and close to her doctors. She will continue to work, part-time, for the Methodist church, as this is her calling and passion.
Helen is one of the most loving, selfless people you will ever meet. She loves people, no matter their place in life or relationship with God. She tries to be a blessing to her family and church family, often at the expense of her health and financial status. Helen has dedicated the last 35 years to the church and their communities. Her income is quite low and she has struggled to make ends meet, particularly as she's aged and her medical needs are higher. We are looking forward to having her back home. Our funds are limited since Bailey is retired and I work part-time. Any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated.
