Yolanda Bean has been my friend since kindergarten, and over the years, she has become like a sister to me and a blessing to so many others. Yolanda is deeply involved in her church and always the first to step up for community events, offering her time and heart to anyone in need. She has been a constant source of support for friends and family, always there through thick and thin, never asking for anything in return.

The past two years have been incredibly hard for Yolanda. She lost both of her parents and cared for them with unwavering love during their final days. Not long after, she faced her own health crisis, undergoing open heart surgery and several other procedures. Despite these challenges, Yolanda kept pushing forward, trying to stay afloat. But recently, her bank accounts were hacked, and every penny she had was stolen. The hackers even overdrafted her accounts, leaving her not only with nothing, but also owing money to the bank. The bank will not cover her losses, and now Yolanda is starting from scratch, with bills piling up and no safety net.

Yolanda has always been responsible and committed to her obligations, but illness and financial hardship have made it impossible for her to keep up. She is working part-time, but it’s not enough, and her daughter is helping as much as she can while raising two children of her own. The funds from this fundraiser will help Yolanda catch up on her car note, insurance, car tags, medical bills, electricity, and groceries so she can eat properly for her health. They will also help cover bank fees and other urgent expenses. As Yolanda’s 65th birthday approaches on January 3, 2026, I am asking friends, family, and anyone who can to come together and help her get back on her feet. She would never ask for help herself, but she truly needs it now. Let’s show her love and support as she starts a new year, and help her find hope and stability again.
