Support Carolyn After 48 Years of Love

Support Carolyn in Her Journey of Healing and Transition

My mom Carolyn is grieving the sudden loss of her beloved Chuck, our dad, after a short but painful battle with cancer. In an instant, she became not only a widow but also has to rebuild a life without him by her side after 48 years of marriage. My dad worked hard to provide for them and loved my mom deeply. He would want her to be taken care of in this time as he did when he was with us. My mom has dedicated her life to sharing love and acts of service to others. It's time we pull together so she can benefit from the kindness she has given to so many.

As she navigates this immense loss, Mom is faced with emotional and financial hurdles that no one should face alone. Please help us support her so she doesn't have to worry about finances in this time of immense loss. We’re launching this fundraiser to help ease the burdens that come with such a devastating transition after losing a lifelong spouse.

Your generous contributions will assist in:

• Covering funeral costs not covered by life insurance

• Covering immediate financial needs from bills to day-to-day expenses, support to bridge the gap during this challenging time without her lifelong partner.

• Future stability: With your help, we can ensure that mom has the foundation she needs to start the next chapter of her life, focusing on healing and her well-being. She will need to downsize to an apartment and time to go through my father's items in their current home. These finances will help contribute so she doesn't need to stress about rent during this time.

This is more than just financial support, it’s a chance to show her that she is not alone. That the love and care of a community she has always given to others can help her rebuild and thrive after such a painful loss. She is only 67 and has so much life left to live with her children and grandchildren.

No contribution is too small, and every bit of support will make a world of difference as Carolyn transitions to a new chapter in her life. Thank you for your compassion and for standing with her during this time of transition. Together, we can help her move forward with strength, hope, and healing.

We love you all, and appreciate the support during this heartbreaking time for our family.
