Go Fund Me
The year was 2009 when I met Lilibeth Trinidad. Originally an RN from the Philippines, Lilibeth came to Canada as an overseas foreign worker and got a job at Extendicare Seniors Home as an LPN.
Over the next year, Lilibeth’s new life in Canada was all about preparing for her family’s arrival. This meant budgeting the money she was earning so she can send money to the Philippines all while paying for her own expenses in Canada. This also meant furnishing her house with things bought from second hand stores or things found given away for free or left in the alley.
After over a year of waiting, Lilibeth’s husband Jack and their 2 sons joined her in Canada. It wasn’t an easy transition and naturally it came with its own ups and downs and Jack eventually found work at Extendicare working in the materials warehouse.
In 2015, Jack and Lilibeth were blessed with their third son & with their family complete, the Trinidads were happy and content.
It would be short lived when misfortune hit in May of 2016 when Lilibeth tragically and suddenly passed away leaving Jack to care for 3 sons with the youngest barely able to walk. Life without his wife and partner was something Jack would never get used to but instead something he needed to adapt to for his sake and, more importantly,for the well being of his sons.
The next 5 years would prove challenging running a household as a single father but it would also prove Jack’s perseverance and tenacity to provide a better life for his kids. But as misfortune would have it, an unfortunate accident would devastate Jack’s life once more. This time it was Jack that would be involved in a life altering accident at home that would leave him paralyzed.
Under the guidance and advise of his doctor, Jack is being transferred to a long term care facility where he will be better provided with care that he will now need for his daily living.
Living as a paraplegic will not only hinder Jack from providing for his sons but also cause him to miss out on everyday life as a family.
This is where we are asking for help to aid in the everyday expenses of Jack’s sons and to supplement any other expenses that may incur during this strenuous time of transition for the Trinidad family.
From the bottom of the Trinidad family, thank you for your support during this difficult season.
