Hello friends and family of our dear sweet Jennifer Thompson Coppage!

Almost 5 years ago, Jennifer received a devastating blow that she has MS. Though she continued working for several years, symptoms developed, and she was unable to perform job tasks and was let go from the company she worked at for over 30 years. Yet another devastating blow to lose that job.

The past year, she has struggled, trying to work part-time at temp positions and keep the household together. She has recently developed some new difficulties and was transported to Richmond yesterday for some long-term care, possibly two months. For over a year, we have been helping her financially, but our funds have run out; she's too far in debt.

We were hoping things didn't come to this, but we are grasping at straws as to what else to do, trying to cover her late mortgage and never-ending utility bills that just keep getting late fees. Stony was diagnosed with neuropathy and only has Medicare. Poor Eli is doing his best with his current job at the YMCA and is constantly looking for part-time work.

Please say a little prayer for Jennifer and her family. She has asked to add many, many thank you's for even the smallest donation. This was an extremely difficult decision to have to make!
