Joyce is my neighbor and friend, and she’s facing unimaginable heartbreak and hardship. Not long ago, Joyce lost one of her sons—a loss that changed her life forever. She struggled to recover, but life became even more difficult when she lost her house and had to move into a small apartment with her only remaining son. Together, they ran a lawn care business, with her son taking care of both the work and Joyce herself, as she is disabled and needs daily assistance.

Just a few weeks ago, Joyce’s son became ill. Despite their best efforts, tragedy struck when Joyce found him unresponsive in their kitchen. Rescue arrived and assured her he would be fine, but at the hospital, she learned the devastating news: her son had passed away from a heart attack. Joyce is now left without any family, income, or support. Her son was not only her caregiver but also her lifeline, and his loss has left her feeling completely alone and uncertain about the future.

Joyce needs help to pay for her son’s funeral or cremation, and she will likely need to move into a healthcare assistance facility to get the care she requires. She is deeply grateful for any help or assistance that anyone can give. Right now, Joyce feels she has nothing left to live for, and your support could make a world of difference in helping her find hope and stability again.
