We are creating this GoFundMe for Jim Hale, as his wife, Paula, very unexpectedly passed away on September 21st. She was the only one working and the main source of income for them. Jim and Paula were beloved members of their small community. From the people we've encountered while helping Jim out over the last few weeks, it is clear that Paula's loving and generous spirit will be sorely missed.

Jim is grieving the loss of his life partner of over 41 years and is in need of help paying for many unexpected expenses. While he has chosen to to not hold a memorial service at this time, he has still encountered many costs surrounding her loss.

We are hoping that we can all come together to help him out in his time of need and show some of the generosity of spirit that both Jim and Paula have brought to so many of us over the years.

Thank you so much for anything that you can give to help Jim get through this extremely difficult time.

Very Gratefully,

Sadie, Jess, and Bay Adams (On behalf of Jim)

**Please know that Jim is working through all the stages of grief that an unexpected loss like that of Paula brings. Right now he is not feeling up to talking with family or friends, but if you would like to reach out by sending a card, he would very much appreciate it. Thanks so much for your understanding.**
