We are co-workers of Barbara's who have started this campaign to help support her during a very difficult time with the loss of her best friend & husband. Barbara is such a kind hearted soul who gives 100% at work. She has also been taking care of her husbands major medical needs for many years leaving her in a challenging position financially since he passed away at their family home yesterday. We are lifting her up as a team to try to help as best we can so she can afford a proper funeral and to help cover medical bills she has been left with as well as day to day expenses . We believe exactly what her daughter has said that nobody should have to choose between paying for things like electricity and water or laying their loved one to rest in the way she would like to. She would never ask for financial help which is why we have chosen to create this account on her behalf. Anything donated goes directly to Barbara and helps tremendously no matter how large or small the donation. Her husband was a father to their four children & a loving grandfather to their grand children. To Barbara, he was her world. We know she would appreciate any form of help and prayers during this time of grieving while she is figuring things out.

Thank you for considering to help, we understand that times are challenging right now for many, if you can't contribute personally that's ok, please consider sharing so others may see this and decide to help this special co-worker of ours. Our hearts go out to you & we wrap you up in love Barbara Melnick!
