$$ Help packing, moving and supporting the O’Neils

Our mom, Wydia Ann Patterson-O’Neil went on to Glory on Saturday, September 24th. She was only 61 years old. She got really sick in August and thought she was getting better but took a turn for the worse and her lungs couldn’t recover.

Our mom has been a phenomenal mother. A single parent to four kids and homeschooled each of us from 4K to 12th grade. My mom was beyond generous to everyone she met. She has let people live with us who needed shelter, she has provided childcare to those who could not afford to pay her even though she relied on that income to pay our bills and pay for the expenses of having her own children. My mom was the first to say-God will provide- this is God’s money and he has called me to serve. My mom had no money but gave generously. She got sick when she was 39 with Lupus and shortly after with Kidney failure but she didn’t let that slow her down. She continued to be a testimony to the goodness of God. My mom ministered as a Counselor and was actively involved in serving our church for over 20 years, even during her illness.

Because our mom’s death was sudden and unexpected both adult children who lived with her at the time of her death, and who have needs due to their disability, require financial support.

Both have been living with our mom for different reasons. One is trying to get back on their feet and the other is in the process of gaining the required education to become independent enough to be on their own.

We ask that you be generous as we assist them in getting on their feet and giving them support to have financial independence.

Specifically, we request these funds for living expenses, as well as funds for the cost of packing up my mother’s home and moving her items out of her house.

In lieu of flowers and cards we ask for your generosity in getting the moving needs accomplished along with financial independence for mom’s greatest treasures, her children.
