Recover from losing my husband from cancer.
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Anna Olson. Never thought I'd be doing anything like this in my lifetime but here I am....My husband fought cancer for two years and technically won. He passed less than 12 hours after we were told he was in remission. My life has been devastated. He was my everything and if it wasn't for our little dog I'm not sure how I'd get up in the morning.
I am on disability and his life insurance was through work at Dicks Drive In (he worked all through his treatments up until 3 months prior of his death). He wanted to retire there but it was ok because we were stashing money under the mattress to go see the Redwood forest and I used the little trust I inherited to buy a camping lot in Cle Elum which he loved so much and he was actually looking forward to retiring and hanging out with his buddy John on the Yakima river(John has a lot there too). He actually passed away there after we watched "the super moon" and had a celebration picnic looking at the river.
His cremation out there cost more than $1000.00 and the trauma of finding him dead at the beginning of the rest of our lives immobilized me for months. I feel close to him when I'm out there(I live 84 miles away in Seattle). My bills have become beyond payable with every credit card maxed out.
Allan bought us a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder which we loved until it became possessed. It in reverse went full throttle no matter how hard brakes were pushed into another(my neighbors) car and then a wall. Luckily no injuries unless we count the cars. Because of this I have no car(just had liability). Now I can't get out to Cle Elum and I just want to be there so bad I'm turning 55 on the 25th...he called it "double nickels" we had so much fun on his 55th,he was 9 years older than me and we're looking forward to mine.
Basically all money donated would go to paying off all the credit cards and buying a used car. Once that would happen I would be able to scrape by and hopefully find some peace in the woods where he lay himself to rest. I just want to be there so bad...the ground where he lay...without a car it's impossible to do that. I thank you if this works and don't know what else I could say except you'd be in my thoughts forever with my deepest gratitude.
