Hello, our names are Karen Malewitx, Lynn Hubbard, Andrea Page, Cheri Nemer, and I am Lynn Everts. We have been long-time friends of Loretta’s, some of us for almost 40 years. Due to unfortunate circumstances at Thanksgiving, our dear friend Loretta, 65 years old, suffered a severe medical emergency. Due to her intensive medical condition, she had to be moved to Detroit, where they were more equipped to handle her specific needs. She has undergone several surgeries that included skin grafts and other complications. Loretta is looking at months of rehabilitation and therapy before she can be sent home, which will be a hard and painful journey. We would appreciate all your prayers to help her get through this mentally, physically, and emotionally challenging time.

Unfortunately, she has been separated from her 61-year-old mentally challenged brother, Mark. He has been under her care since the passing of their parents 20 years ago. Part of their family includes three cats and Mark's dog. This has been devastating for Mark; everything that he felt comfort in has been quickly displaced. He is temporarily staying with his gracious elderly Aunt Cathy and is unsure of what his long-term care will be.

The donations received will help with the following items that need to be addressed for this family. This includes help with expenses of Mark's care under his aunt, possible legal bills for Mark's future with guardianship and power of attorney, bills that are now occurring and becoming overdue, and medical bills that are starting to build up. There are also some repairs that are needed on their home.

We would like to thank you for taking your time to read this, and any donation large or small will be greatly appreciated in helping this family in their time of need. It is people in the world like you that make it a better place.

A big thank you to her cousin Harold and her Aunt Cathy for their selflessness to help remedy this unfortunate situation. They have been putting in a lot of time and effort to help Loretta and Mark.
