Please Help The Markey Family (Funeral)
Donation protected
Hello everyone my Name is Kelly & I am writing this because my son Shane reached out to me out of concern for his friend & his family. They are having a very rough time & are in much need of help and have fallen on very hard times. We thought to have a fundraiser, but in covid times that seems impossible right now. But we are keeping the options open for an in person fundraiser of some kind at a later time. So we talked & decided to do a Go Fund Me Page instead. I admire my son for wanting to help this family.
First let me tell you about the Markey Family. Mr. Randy, Mrs Barbara, Daughter Jennifer, Granddaughter Emily, 2 sons, Randy Jr & Holden. All but the daughter lost their jobs because of covid. The daughter is currently working from home.
In the meantime the landlord of the house they have lived in for the past 15yrs has recently notified them he is selling the property and have 60 days to vacate. That 60 days are up at the end of March. They did get a little extension, but not much. They are beside themselves because you see Mom Barb who has had bladder cancer 2 times and beat it in the past. She has been recently (as in the last 2 weeks), after many tests has been told the cancer has returned only this time she has been diagnosed with brain, bone, & breast cancer. Yes, that’s 3 types at one time. With no treatments she has 2 months, with treatments she has 1yr. so she has decided to do the treatments. She does not accept the long-term prognosis. She is going to fight and fight hard. She says “If it happens, she is going down swinging and with a healthy sense of humor. If I lose the battle, so be it. But I'm not accepting anything. I'm fighting, its in my nature.” She also has Achalasia, a very rare condition that does not let food pass from esophagus into the stomach. Along with a long list of other medical issues.
Time is of the utmost importance right now for this family. This family knows how hard the future is looking and they need so much help right now. My son & I realize you all don’t know this family, but we do and they really need help to lesson some of the pressures they are trying to cope with and in the rough road ahead of them. They are a proud family but also realize they are in need of much needed help right now. They have allowed us to do this for them. So please find it in your heart to help in any way you can, its very needed right now.
Thank you from the Markey Family, My Son Shane & Myself.
