UPDATE: Carrie passed away this morning surrounded by family, we wanted to take time to thank everyone who has made a donation, said a prayer or help pass along her story. We ask for privacy as we navigate through these hard times and Mourn the loss of our beloved mother again, I appreciate everyone. THANK YOU!!!

Hello Everyone,

Our family is reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your help in supporting a truly incredible woman—our beloved mother, sister, wife, daughter, and grandmother—who is currently battling an illness.

Despite facing unimaginable challenges, she has remained strong and selfless, continuing to raise her four young grandchildren with love, patience, and unwavering dedication. Her family is her whole world and she has poured every bit of her strength into making sure they are safe, nurtured, and surrounded by love—even as her own health declines.

Now, she needs us.

As her illness progresses, medical bills continue to grow, and basic living expenses like housing, utilities, and food are becoming overwhelming. Most importantly, we want to ensure that she and the family are cared for during this time, and that they have stability and support through the difficult days ahead.

We are asking for donations to help.

She has always been the first to help others, whether it was offering a meal, a ride, or a shoulder to lean on. Her kindness and strength have touched everyone who knows her. Now it's our turn to be there for her.

Any amount helps, and if you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping her and our family in your prayers. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help ease her burden and ensure she is cared for with the dignity and love she deserves.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love and support.

With gratitude,

The Lay/Long Family
