Amazing ONLY parent of 4 lost in car accident

Jeanetta Renee Stoudmire became a widow in 2020 to raise 4 children on her own.

She not only did it, she did it well.

Her mother's love extended not only to her own children but all of the children in the neighborhood as well.

She was the neighbor mom.

Sometimes when life hits us hard we can become hard along with it, but not Jeanetta.

Jeanetta struggled in life and it made her fight even harder because of her love for her children.

She was constantly trying to encourage, offer assistance or just showing up for everyone she either knew or had just met that moment.

I remember her telling me a few weeks back about a woman sleeping in her van on the side of the road. It was cold. Jeanetta and the woman sparked up a conversation about about God. Jeanetta asked the woman if she was hungry and found out that indeed she was. Jeanetta raced home and made her a bowl of chili of course with every detail of toppings to make it special.

She always made everything special and memorable.

The detail that she put into caring for her kids incredible.

She made their lives fun and interactive. Outdoor movies with their own snack kits, she made sure to treat each holiday with attention to details themed with activities for the kids to participate in.

Again, all of the kids around.

She created specialized lunch boxes carefully put together to be absolutely amazing every time they were opened, along with a hand written note expressing her love for them each day.

It's an understatement to say that ALL of the kids knew which house they would all be at.

Jeanetta loved to teach her children.

Jeanettas 17 and 19 year old daughters have become absolutely stunning women inside and out. They have not always had it smooth sailing. They were a unit and stuck together no matter what. They are so wise, well beyond their years. They are so responsible, so sweet to everyone they also encounter. They have inherited the love for others that their mother demonstrated. They have been instrumental in the household system of helping raise their younger brother and sister. The love that oozes out of them is unbelievable. I am so so sorry for the burden of this tragedy that is weighing on their shoulders at such a young age. They have just become of age to fly off from the nest when this tragedy has hit their home. Now, they are thrown into handling adult issues. I'm hoping that with this GoFundMe the burden of financial issues won't be something they have to worry about going forward for a bit.

I pray that power bills will go prepaid, the rent can be covered for awhile, food can be bought, any car maintenance on their only car, water bills....

They don't know about any of these things. They will learn and are not alone but I can't imagine how it wouldn't feel that way.

I hope this raised money will create a safety net to care for their living needs and the expenses that will arise handling this terrible situation.

Jeanetta, was my son's partner in life and they maintained their family unit no matter what until his untimely death in 2020. Family for them was everything. It's so hard to wrap my head around how my grandchildren must be feeling right now. Scared, fragile, uncertain, too young for this. They do have Aunts, uncles and cousins surrounding them but it's just a little different when it's your parents that are gone. This breaks my heart for them.

"God cover and protect these children from anymore harm that could effect their lives. God give them the knowledge that You are right here with them EVEN in this. Give them peace of mind that can only be obtained by You during times like this". God bless these babies. Draw them all to You in this weakness so that You can demonstrate Your strength in even this".

Originally when posting this GoFundMe my initial thought were service, living expenses, their household food, utilities etc.

After speaking to the oldest daughter I have learned that their aged suv has been experiencing some troubles. Its pretty old.

This car accident has obviously left their household without their 2nd car Jeanetta was driving.

While living out near Forks is amazing it does cause commutes to larger areas for household items. Jeanetta would drive the distances to more populated areas to obtain the things they all needed she would say.

There is a small town and a groshery store but I'm sure the girls will be doing some commuting.

I met one of th "after school" church teachers for the community at the grocery store there.

He said he would would be willing to check out the SUV for its reliability for the girls and if it was time to think about something more reliable he would accompany them, as he is well versed in vehicles mechanics as well.

I am so thankful that he brought this up when we met and for his willingness to look after this matter with them.

I have spoken to the oldest daughter about thinking about the reliability of their transportation since they only have one car now and they are so remote.

Because of everyone's help, attention to this can also be addressed.

I love you my precious grandchildren..
