Today, I lost my husband, Keith Carpenter (the man who literally gave every last dollar or shirt and shoes right off his body to give to the homeless) after months of heartbreaking illness, overwhelming medical bills, and lost work while I cared for him. I did everything I could to be by his side, and now I am facing funeral expenses and unpaid bills with no financial cushion left.

I never imagined asking for help like this because I've always been so independent, but I truly need the support during this devastating time so I can lay my husband to rest without added fear of how I will manage financially. Any help or shares mean more to me than I can express. I want to thank everyone for all the prayers and support thus far. I appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart.

Today was his daddy's passing anniversary date too.
