I am reaching out to you today on behalf of Maureen Harkins and Tony's children Faith, Joey, Halle-Kay and Kyndall. As most of you know, Joseph "Tony" Harkins went to be with his Heavenly Father on October 24th. And while we will miss him forever here on earth I know he is rejoicing with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Heaven and the beauty of that thought gives me peace and comfort.

The reason I am asking for your help is because while he was with us on earth, he and his girls lived with his mom. And while she covered the mortgage, Tony was the one who handled the bills. The struggle of losing her first born is a big enough burden to bear but to add on to it the completely unexpected and costly expenses that come along with it, she has taken a huge hit, emotionally and financially. I can't imagine the hurt she is experiencing. But if you know Maureen "Momo" you know she is as strong and as proud as they come. She won't ask for help. She will always try to find a way to make it work but if we could just PLEASE alleviate some of this burden from her without her having to ask it would mean the world to all of us who know and love her so very deeply.

Any help you are able to give will go toward maintaining hers and the girls home. Mortgage, bills, groceries etc. She will continue to be the sole provider for Tony's 2 youngest girls, Halle-Kay and Kyndall. They have a beautiful life and home with her and I dont want any of them to fear losing that. Not now, after everything they've endured.

I know how many people adored Tony and if you were around him for more than 5 minutes you heard exactly how much his mom and children meant to him. We all saw the 1 million and 1 posts with #daddyonduty. Because he truly was, no matter what he was going through at the time. Well, as heart breaking as it is to say... his earthly daddy duties are over. And I am calling on all of you... on all of US, to pick up where he left off. It's time for #FamilyOnDuty #FriendsOnDuty #LOVEONDUTY.

Thank you from the bottom of my broken heart.

Stephanie

Any and all help is appreciated, every donation, no matter how big or small. And I understand that not everyone had the ability to donate, but please share this as much as you can. And above all else, continue to keep Tony's family and friends in your prayers during this extremely difficult time.
