On October 28, 2025, my mother, Kathy Wilkins, lost her beloved husband and life partner- Doug Wilkins. Their love and commitment to one another was the foundation of their lives, and his passing has left a deep emotional and financial burden that she cannot face alone.

Kathy is retired and has been battling multiple serious medical conditions for years. She requires oxygen daily and is unable to work. Her husband was her primary source of support — emotionally, physically, and financially. Now that he has passed, her only income is stand-alone Social Security, which simply isn’t enough to cover housing, utilities, medical costs, food, and other basic living expenses. There now is a major shortage to just be able to pay for basic life needs.

She has always been a loving wife, mother, and friend — the kind of person who gave what she could to others, even when she had little for herself. Asking for help is not easy for her, or for our family, but we are doing this because she truly needs it.

The goal of this money is to help her spread out life expenses for the foreseeable future.

All donations will go directly to helping Kathy for the following things-

Mortgage and basic living expenses

Utilities and groceries

Medical bills and prescription costs

Oxygen and medical equipment maintenance

If you are able, please consider donating — any amount, no matter how small, makes a difference. If you cannot donate, please help by sharing this page to spread the word.

Our family is deeply grateful for your love, support, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for helping Kathy find stability and comfort as she navigates life without her husband.
