Hi friends,

My name is Taryn, and I'm the oldest daughter of Allie Wilson. For those of you who don't know, Allie is a hard working, self-employed mother of 4, and the sole provider for her family. When the pandemic hit, Allie lost her long time job and health insurance, and began supporting her family through the physical job of refinishing furniture. Allie has two shops that she visits multiple times a week to refill with her art, and spends her days outside fixing, sanding, and repainting furniture. This woman works hard day and night to make sure her partner and children have everything they need.

Two weeks ago Allie got incredibly sick, and began a 2 week isolation. Unfortunately she did not heal, and was hospitalized on Saturday August 28th, with COVID and pneumonia. Though she's begun her journey to recovery, doctors have assured her that she will have to remain in the hospital for 2 weeks, and will be put on bed rest for 2 weeks, following her discharge.

Isolated alone in a room, she's forced to worry about how she's going to manage to turn this traumatic experience around, and keep her family afloat. So I'm asking you readers, please help me bring some relief to my mom, so she can focus on getting better and coming home to her children. Any form of help is a blessing, share this page with as many people as you can, keep her in your thoughts and prayers, and donate if you feel capable. I can't think of a better expression of love, than being surrounded by a community of compassionate, selfless individuals who are there to help you stand on your own again.

Thank you for taking time to hear my mother's story, please stay safe and hug your loved ones.

With all the gratitude,

Taryn
