I want to start with my name is Ashley Sweeter (25), the daughter of Tim (55) and Debbie Marshall (65).

I am sorry to ask for such a hefty bit of help. I understand that the economy is not in the best position at this time. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this will help us greatly.

My mom recently had a stroke. As a result, she had a brain bleed and had to undergo (thankfully) a noninvasive brain surgery to correct it. Furthermore, she also has a bit of brain damage, some facial paralysis, and issues working with her hands. She is currently in recovery.

I hope with help she can come back to a clean and save home and reunite with my dad.

I am asking for donations. I absolutely have no expectations of meeting the goal; ANYTHING will help. This is to provide both my mom and dad with the desperate help that they need.

My dad has been working as hard as he can to make sure that she can return back to a home, a clean and safe one. My dad hasn’t been able to see my mom since her stroke, and I cannot imagine the stress and anxiety that comes along with not being able to see your wife.

Unfortunately, my family and I cannot afford proper extermination. This includes bed bugs, cockroaches, and mice. Unfortunately, the bugs were a result of bringing a food donation home, and it has gotten bigger than anyone can manage.

To help, we have removed all furniture and clothing, and we did all the bug removal steps we could possibly do to try to manage and take care of it on our own. In turn, it has resulted in my own father sleeping on an air mattress that deflates, and he wakes up on the floor.

This is something that we absolutely can’t manage on our own, and I should have recognized it way sooner. They need professional help. They deserve to have a comfortable, safe home to live in. Unfortunately, permanent relocation isn’t an option.

This will help go towards an exterminator, a mattress, a refrigerator, an oven, and a large trash service company (physical donations of these items will be accepted as well), and for some financial assistance for bills that have racked up since my mom has been in recovery. These are all items and services that they are in need of.

I just want to help and support them like they did with me growing up, they are incredible people, they would give the clothes off of their backs to help anyone in need even when they cannot afford it themselves.

I want to provide them with some kind of relief in this difficult time for them.

Anything at all will help.

Again I am sorry for the heavy ask.
