Christine is a Good Person.
She is Kind, Caring, Thoughtful and Stronger than she knows.
Her beautiful little girl, Michelle, was robbed from Christine by the evils of Cancer.
Life for Christine life has not been the same since.
Yet, she has gone on to help support others who are living through the same type of horrific loss as she is.
Christine has two little boys and a disabled daughter that she must care for.
They live in an inherited house that is falling apart piece by piece.
Recently the pipes became blocked with sewage. The service tech, whom she could ill-afford, even just for the consultation, informed Christine and her boys that the pipes are totally gone and will need digging and full pipe replacement.
Then Sewage started backing up into the tub and washer and sinks.
She was told by a contractor that a
$1,000 down payment was needed
with a question of how extensive the damage is and how much more will be needed.
Christine drained every cent she had available, in hopes to get the problem rectified, keeping her surviving boys and daughter, safe and comfortable....
but leaving nothing in the bank at all...no money for the mortgage, no money for extras, and left Christine strugging for day to day needs.
She is sinking.
This is one major repair on top of so many other challenges.
She is sinking and needs a life preserver.
There is no other family to turn to.
There are only friends and caring people who might wish to help lend a hand to this single struggling mom who continues to suffer.
The death of a child sets An Avalanche of Secondary Losses into motion that can take years and years and years to build back up from.
Christine hates asking for Help.
She WANTS to be able to stand on her own feet and make everything work and she struggles to do so every day.
But sometimes a Village is Needed.
Facebook Friends encouraged her to begin a Go-Fund Me with promises that they would be there for her as much as they could.
So, here I am, telling her story that she would rather keep private,
but knowing that she can’t make this all work on her own.
She feels embarrassed and sad, but really does need help.
NOW
QUICKLY
Please GIVE what you can afford to help Christine bring their home to a livable safe condition for the family she has left.
I know how much this will mean to her.
She really Needs Help.
Together, we have a chance to make a significant difference in bringing light to what seems like an impossibly dark situation.
