Hi Friends and Family and even strangers who are our new family :)
I am writing this out because a bunch of friends suggested I do it, even though I'm a little embarassed by it. My family has had a horrible year. My dad died unexpectedly in my arms on January 10th. That shook me to my core and I had a complete mental break. That same week, my mom was put in the hospital with a lot of issues. I ended up having to put together and partially pay for the Memorial, which was the hardest thing to do. My mom was able to come to the memorial for a few hours out of the hospital. 3 days later, my Aunt (my dad's sister) was so distraught about my dad passing, that she had a massive stroke, and can no longer function or talk on her own. Then, I broke my ankle and tore ligaments too. My mom Judy, as most of you know her by, has touched more hearts then anyone I know. She is a true humanitarian. She is known all over as "mom", because she treated everyone like they were her children. She fed latchkey kids, she let homeless kids live with us, she housed exchange students from other countries (for free!), gave rides to a LOT of kids, slipped money into pockets or birthday cards of kids who didn't have much money, hosted so many BBQ's I couldn't count them all, and fed, bathed, listened to, gave advice to and always had some of her famous homemade chips and salsa waiting for them. She shared her beach home with everyone, and didn't get much quiet time to herself. And when we got older,she shared glasses of wine for everyone (which gets expensive). She had a way of making everyone feel safe and loved. Well, she has gotten older, as we all will someday, and after my dad died, just hasn't been the same. She's been in the hospital for 1 year for constant infections, and much more (but she wouldn't want me to say). You can imagine how your spirit might be being in the hospital day after day for a whole year. Her spirit is broken right now. All she wants to do is come home and rest. So, I decided I am going to move in to her house and take care of her the best I can. But, with a year of medical bills, funeral costs, special treatments, specialized equiptment she needs, it's a lot of money. And, since I reinjured my torn ligaments in my ankle, I'm not able to pack or move too much. We would use this money for the move of both of us (this week!) back to her house, for her wheelchair, ramps, and all those medical bills and unexpected items that come up. We are both so deeply thankful for your donation, but mostly for your love and generosity. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
If you feel the call to share this with your other friends on facebook or your website or emails, we would appreciate that. Thanks again! God Bless You.
Oh yeah, if you wanted to donate through , you can use my email address which is [email redacted] (yes, I'm totally old school with the aol email address).
