Help Shannon Heal and Stay in Her Home
Donation protected
This is really hard for me to write, and I hope I get it out right.
My cousin Shannon, more my sister, lost the love of her life last Tuesday morning, very unexpectedly. Keith was her best friend, her protector, her fiancé, and her truest love. They have been together for over 10 years, during which Shannon was also there to help raise his son, who is now 14 and without a father. Keith was one of the happiest guys you could ever meet. Even through the stormy weather, his spirit brought the sunshine. He could make you laugh until you cried, and he would be there with his shoulder for you to cry on if you ever needed. His soul was beyond genuine. He adored his son and was a great dad, and he adored Shannon. You could feel the love they felt for each other. This loss has left her completely alone and shattered, with the life she knew and cherished turned upside down into the deepest heartache.
I wanted to post this sooner, but she is a private person and she has been struggling to come to the reality of it all. Unfortunately, they did not have a savings that will keep her afloat while she takes time away from work to grieve. She is left alone to take care of all the bills and expenses of their home, now without him. She needs support during this horrible time. I have always been right beside her and always will be, and I wish I could take away this pain and make everything better. But I can't, and I don't have the means to be there financially as I wish I could either. I am asking for kindness and love during this painful time, to help make sure she can grieve and not worry about losing her home, or her bills going unpaid right now. I thank you kindly from the bottom of my heart.
