Zach's Sister In Her Time Of Need

Most who will read this already knows that we recently lost Our Dearly loved Friend and Brother, Zach Elliott. Zach fought so bravely and stood so strongly against the awful disease he had been diagnosed with and when he could no longer stand on His own his big Sister Tosha came to be with and help take care of Zach.

For the last few months, with no questions asked, no second thoughts and no doubt in Her heart or mind, Tosha has been traveling from Nebraska to MN most weekends to spend time with and assist in caring for Zach.

When Zach began hospice care Tosha made the decision to come to MN, without knowing how long she would be away from Her home, Family and job; to help Alicia care for Zach so he could rest peacefully in his home in his final days and has been here for 2 weeks.

This did not come without a high price and sacrifice. Tosha not only was away from her supportive and loving Husband, (Jon), but also was away from her 12 children. Jon also suffered the loss of His own Brother recently prompting both Tosh and Jon to take some time off of work to be with family during that time as well.

I have had the privilege of spending time with Tosha and Jon over the past few months and have come to know them as my own family now. Alicia thinks of Tosha as another sister and as such she will now be treating Her. Jon and Tosh have have 12 children 10 of which they adopted. They are 12 of the most amazing human beings and the entire family is so loving and kind and helpful and all live to serve others. It truly is one of my greatest pleasures to know them and look forward to any time we get to spend with them in the near future.

With all that said: This wonderful family has had a very overwhelming year, particularly the last few months. They both had to take time off work and have a lot of recent unexpected expenses with all the traveling and funerals. It has led to some financial difficulties and hard times for them.

These people help whoever, whenever they can and I am asking for a little financial help for them during this trying time in their lives. They need time to be together and heal and cope with these great losses.

I will be forever grateful for all Tosha did for my sister through the most difficult moments of Alicias life and how valiantly she came to her brothers side in his moments of need.

Now is Their moment of need and I ask, during this Holiday Season, that you donate if you can spare a few bucks to help out a family devoted to the service of others so that they can enjoy a stress-free, joyful Christmas Season without this dark cloud hanging over their heads. Please help give them a bit of relief by donating or sharing.

Thank you all for considering lifting the spirits of a truly amazing family this Christmas Season! God Bless!
