Support a Family's Fresh Start After Hardship

Hi my name is Brandon and I am hoping to raise funds to help out my family members who all reside in WA state.

My sister recently had life saving surgery (her small intestine was twisted up inside her and they had to perform emergency surgery to remove necrotic tissue). Unfortunately, this means we had to move her out of her apartment. Being that there is no longer a home base, her 3 minor children (she is a single mom) had to go live with friends/family who were willing to help out temporarily. My sister also had hip surgery a few years back and that went terribly wrong. She's had to get multiple surgeries on her hip and she still has a temporary hip. She's had to endure a lot. She has no home to go back to, no car to drive, no partner to help her....it's a sad situation. Because of all her medical/physical issues....she's been unable to work and has been dealing with major depression...it's a vicious cycle.

My mother is currently 77 and she's been diagnosed with Junior Macular Degeneration and has steadily been losing her eyesight. She has pretty much fully blind for the last 35 years. She tries to get by the best she can (very stubborn) but she really needs full time care. She has been living on very sparse disability checks and houses one of the kids in her 1 bedroom apartment. She generously gave her grandson the bedroom while she sleeps in the living room.

I put off doing a GoFundMe type fundraiser because quite honestly, I've been embarrassed to air out my "dirty laundry". It's hard to open up and talk about family drama and issues to friends much less complete strangers. But the situation is pretty bad and I can't think of anything else that could help their situation so I am putting my pride aside to ask for help.

Any funds that I collect, will go to securing housing for my sister and 3 nephews. Also, if we have enough, to put funds towards utilities and other living expenses for them. Of course any additional funds, I would like to put in my mother's account so she doesn't have to worry about money every month...and maybe find someone who will clean her apt and prep meals for her.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any help is much appreciated! I am hoping that if they don't have to worry about finances for a bit, then it will give them the opportunity to breathe a little easier and have less stress and worries for a bit. Personally, I'm hoping it'll allow a fresh new beginning...especially for my sister and her kids.
