The end of April my beloved husband, Kenny, was hospitalized for ongoing issues due to pneumonia. Increased breathing difficulties was a main concern. Within the first week he was diagnosed with stage 4B lung cancer. We hoped to bring him home to get whatever treatment he decided on and started making plans for the rest of our time together. With family and close friends. Making memories. Moments. But that was stolen from us. On May 6th I lost the my husband. My one true love. My rock. My hero. My biggest cheerleader. My comedian. My guardian. It was unexpectedly sudden. Among the pain, heartache and devastation, there are bills, final costs, late fees, etc. piling up as he was our only income due to my disabilities. Nothing can move forward as far as social security, etc. until I have the official certificate. That can take several weeks. So with the encouragement of friends, family, neighbors and coworkers who have essentially become family, I created this fundraiser in hopes of being able to honor my husband's wishes and stay put where our memories are, where he knows I'm safe, at peace, and can return to a happier life in time, whatever that means without extensive worries. I will need to pay for his final expenses in order to bring him home where he belongs.

Please accept my deepest gratitude during this time. I hesitated to do this but fortunately surrounded by people encouraging me in so many ways.
