Veteran Widow's Bereavement Fund

Donation protected
Hello Everyone,
I am humbly asking for your support. My husband, Theodore (Ted) Howe recently passed away. We had been married for forty years, from 1977 - 2017. Needless to say, I greatly depended on Ted for our financial support. With his death, I have now lost that. This is a time when changes in the way I will continue to live have to take place. A time of transition. I have checked all the usual Government Assistance Programs. I was told that my income is too high to qualify for any assistance. I currently have a Net Income of 1,292.00 a month. This will not even begin to cover current monthly Bills.  What I need is some financial help until I am able to make the necessary changes. 
Unfortunately, Ted's Life Insurance Policy lapsed due to a misunderstanding regarding the interest on the loan being  forgiven and not on the loan itself. So, I do not have Ted's Life Insurance to help me through this time of transition.
With your donations I would be able to meet the monthly Bills for the coming months which are, Utilities, Water/Sewer, Phone, Lot Rent, Mortgage,
Auto, Insurances, Internet and the unexpected.
My faith is strong and I am praying that yours will be too. I need to see God in Action through His people.
Please give so that I may continue to have a warm home to live in. One of my fears is becoming Homeless and placed in danger. This is an urgent plea for your compassion, prayers and financial help.

For those of you who did not know Ted, here is a little bit about him. He was born April 7,1955. He passed away November 10, 2017. He began his Work Life while at home on his parent's flower farm in Escondido, California. After High School he joined the Navy.  Was stationed in Italy for a couple of years then served time aboard USS Jonas Ingram. After his service in the Navy, he became a welder, then attended college for his Engineering Degree. Ted always worked diligently to provide for his family.  The past few years have been difficult due to his severe chronic health issues.  He eventually became totally disabled and unable to work.
Through all of Ted's trials, he always kept his faith in God and trusted God with the life of his family.

Please take time to consider my request for donations. They are urgently needed and asked with a humble heart and faith in God.

Thank you,

Lena M. Howe
