Hi, my sister Kim and I are putting this fund together to try and help a dear friend and her family through a hard season in life. We have never set up a go fund me for anyone, and we know there are many struggling and going through tough times right now and our hearts break for all. Courtney and Levi are some of the kindest, giving, selfless, and hardest working people we know that would never ask for monetary help on their own. This is our doing and we want to try and help where we can to possibly make their lives a little less stressful until life evens out and calms down for them.
They have 4 beautiful children of their own, and they are also fostering two siblings at this time. This is something they have always done, and Courtney's motto is always the more the merrier. Her heart is as big as Texas! Life was running as usual until covid hit their house in late July. Courtney and Levi both work from home and were hit hard by this. Levi spent over a week in the hospital with respiratory problems, all while Courtney was left home tending to the kids while dealing with covid herself. They used up all their sick time and FMLA, etc. Levi has struggled the last few weeks to feel well enough to get back to work, and just a few days ago their second to youngest was having breathing problems. He was admitted to Dell Children's Hospital where they spent a few nights trying to figure out what’s going on.
They haven't asked for any financial help and probably never would. However, we know that with going a month without paychecks, having 6 kids, and two hospital stays that things can't be great. Then to top it off, one of their kids broke their oven door off, the dishwasher is crashing, and they were just trying to get things together to get new appliances.
We love these two and their family and know they would help in any way they could for anyone, so we are trying to raise enough money to be able to take a little stress off of them or just make life a little easier. We could all use a little joy and positivity in our lives. I know they will pay it forward when the time comes. They truly are deserving. If you can't help monetarily, that’s ok. Prayers would also be much appreciated.
If you have made it this far, thank you! Anything helps big or small.
