HELP STEPHANIE O’CONNOR!!!

Hi everyone! My name is Katrina and I’m asking for help! My friend Stephanie O’Connor, a close sister in Christ, wife and mother of three has been taking care of a longtime friend, Thuy (who has terminal cancer and has two teenage children-15 & 17).

Thuy, a widow, has been a single mother for the last 13 years due to her husband’s tragic death by a random act of violence. Stephanie helped this family during that time, and aided them in anyway that she could through their hardship. 

Now that Thuy’s health has been steadily declining  and the children are soon going to be left without either parent, Stephanie was asked to take FULL custody of these two children once her friend passes. Stephanie has been unable to consistently work her job (this past week she hasn’t been at work once!) due to the grueling schedule of appointments, getting the kids to and from school, and taking care of Thuy’s affairs. At this point, Stephanie has not received any funds to aid her in caring for Thuy’s kids, and it’s wearing on Stephanie’s immediate family both emotionally and financially. Currently, Stephanie is acting as nurse while Thuy is at the very end stages in hospice at home. She is making sure the kids are being cared for in every way possible during this difficult time for them. She is also trying to keep in close contact with her job & assistant to make sure work is running smoothly. It’s so much for just one person!

This has turned out to be a very complicated situation and I know that God will continue to provide for the O’Connor family, but I’m asking if there is any amount that you could spare to help Stephanie recover the lost funds from being unable to work, and help her so she can better take care and provide for Thuy’s children and her own family, I know it would help her tremendously.

Meals would be very appreciated as well, if you feel led to give in this way. If you know Stephanie, you can contact her directly to see about any restrictions that the family might have. Thank you in advance!!

I understand that not everyone wants to give through Go Fund Me.  If you'd like to send anything directly to Stephanie she can be reached at [phone redacted].  Her Venmo is @Stephanie-OConnor-55.
