Vivian Van Vliet's family is reaching out to you.

Vivian Van Vliet

Vivian/Grandma Viv/Grandma Goody

If you, your children, your parents or even YOUR GRAND PARENTS were in Bend anytime in the last 58 years your path had to have crossed with Vivian.

Vivian had a cute little house on the westside of Bend on Union St. She babysat countless children over the years and loved them all. She still hears from many of them on her birthday and other holidays. Vivian took all her littles on walks to the boat park (Harmon), the library and even the pool @Juniper Park.

Currently Vivian lives at Stonelodge Independent Living off 27th. in Bend. As you can imagine she loves it there. She is involved in so many activities – chair yoga, bingo, card games, bean bag baseball, a balance class to name a few.

ALL AT 99 YEARS OF AGE!!!!!

Plus she is active on the welcoming committee and does the laundry for the onsite beauty salon.

Now that we have brought you up to speed on Vivian let us tell you why our family has decided to reach out with this

Go Fund Me. Believe us when we tell you that this is our last resource as we have

researched other options. The thought of moving her to another location has been discussed in depth, our worry is that she would be really sad to leave all her neighbors at Stonelodge and all her activities that keep her so active.

About nine years ago Vivian sold her home on Union Street and was very excited with the proceeds that we all imagined would outlast her. Well as we all know Vivian is a very strong lady and super healthy. We are very near the end of her finances and feel that this is our only option. VIVIAN IS NOT AWARE OF THIS DILEMMA,

so please do not spill the beans.

Thank you for considering our request. At this time we are hoping to receive enough donations to fund the next year. Vivian has a strong will to live to 100.

Vivian's family thanks you.
