My name is Korinne I am a 39 year old and I reside in Florida l, I am widow as of Sunday September 14th. My husband Michael who was 44 yrs old. His body just couldn’t recover this time like it had all the other times before when he became sick. He had a liver transplant done in 2017 in Maryland university. He recovered amazingly well from the surgery. The speed in which they found him a match within a little less than a week and that kind of stuff is unheard of. So he got more then just one blessings he received quite a few during and afterward.

unfortunately my husband had Been struggling his whole life with alcohol but I am still convinced that it had something to do with genetics in some way but now I will never know.

We have two beautiful children as you can see in the pictures, my heart breaks more from them than anything else. They needed their father in their lives, every child does but this was unfortunately something that could no longer be reversed and his body just gave out on him. The one thing I’ve promised myself and him is the fact that I will keep his memory very alive, our children will know who their daddy was and how he was a very loving and kind man but also very strong willed too. I’m still In shock that my husband, the man I said my vows to, whom I thought we would grow old and grey together. Raise our kids and then pass away later on in life. We all have a vision of the way we’d like our lives to look like but at the end of the day it’s not up to us and I knew that already but after this happened it made me so much more in tune with the fact that every day we’re alive is a true blessing!!

I am asking for general help as far as funeral and just support for myself and my kids. I am currently on leave from my full-time job for four weeks. Now we are down to living off my income, when we did have 2 income’s it, my mind has been on everything else but what I usually do so now I am behind on my bills. It’s extra stress that I really don’t need right now. The phone company shut me off today. I’m doing my very best to continue to stay strong for my 3 and 4 year old kids. It just seems it’s a constant struggle with something or another.

I would be eternally grateful to anyone out there who can find it in your heart to help out a way too young grieving widow , all I am trying to do is apply for any benefits I can possibly get along with doing this in hopes of help to get us through the worst part of the storm.

The reason why I asked for such a high donation is cause when my lease is up here in Florida, I hate to say it cause my husband wanted us to stay and wanted me at stay here cause this is where he wanted to raise our kids. I’ve thought about it and I would personally rather me and my kids to be closer to family. Plus it very important for children to be raised with their grandparents around. It’s very important to their development. I honestly hate ever asking for help from Anyone but I feel that if I don’t then I will just suffer in silence and that’s not a good thing either. Thank you for taking the time to read my story!!
