Tragedy in 3- Funeral, Decaying Home, Parkinson's

Donation protected
Jean Zemo has endured a difficult year and needs your assistance. Her husband, Mitch Zemo, has recently passed and the sudden tragedy occurred without a Will & Testament to protect Jean from the trials, costs, and complications of her loss. She is a school teacher and upstanding member of the Severna Park community but is now faced with mounting funeral costs, a crumbling foundation, and the added distress of Parkinson's.

Funerals are difficult for everyone as we both face the loss of a loved one and struggle with the ridiculous costs and obstacles of the industry. A cremation costs a minimum of 5,000 dollars and that is the cheapest option available. As we mourn the loss of a loving husband and doting father we must ask for help in making sure that he is entombed with respect and love.

Additionally, in the wake of her husband's death, Jean's once-shared home is in disarray. Jean is unable to travel up and down the stairs to the basement due to Parkinson's and after further inspection, major foundation damage was found below her feet. This renovation must occur now as the house will completely collapse if left in its current state. The beam supporting the home is dangerously disintegrating and the foundation around it barely holds her home together. The cost of this repair will be upwards of 15,000 and that is only if there are no other issues hidden within the existing damage.

This is not only Jean's home but where her precious memories of her late husband reside. It's where she raised her children and where she continues to help those she loves with more than she has at her disposal. Such terrible tragedies shouldn't happen to such a good person. Our goal is high but any amount, however small, will help. Please share your love in the comments even if you are unable to donate.

Jean needs our support and deserves every ounce of whatever we can offer her. I am her niece, writing this for one of the greatest aunts I've ever known. I have always felt lucky to have someone as amazing as Aunt Jeannie in my life. With my father's assistance and endless practical knowledge, we will be giving everything we have to assist Jean through what will be the hardest trial of her life. We can each only do so much but together we're able to do anything. Let's protect the most beautiful smile that has ever existed (*see GoFundMe img).

Through this fundraiser, I wish to bless her and remind her that, no matter what happens, she isn't alone. We love you Aunt Jeannie.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and sending your prayers. I will be posting updates throughout these trials as well as offering transparency as to how your money will be utilized. If you have any questions please contact me through the GoFundMe page.

Much love and bless you.
