My name is Valerie, and I am reaching out for help after the recent loss of my fiancé of 40 years. Together, we built a life and a family, raising two adult children and a grandson. I am also caring for my 6-year-old great niece, who is a bright light in our lives.

Losing my fiancé has been devastating for all of us. Not only did we lose someone we loved deeply, but we also lost his income and the financial stability he provided. I was his sole caretaker and worked as his PCA, so with his passing, I have lost both his income and my own. I have not yet been able to return to work, and we are struggling to keep up with the mortgage, bills, and daily expenses.

The money raised will go toward our mortgage, water bill, electric, gas, and cremation expenses. This support will help us keep our home and cover essential needs while we work to rebuild. Thank you all for your love and support at this very difficult time. Your kindness means more than words can say.
