Christine Whitehead Memorial and Family assistance

Donation protected
In this season of giving,  would you be willing to help our family (Don, Chris, and Kim Whitehead ) during a very difficult and uncertain time?  If through donations or simply sharing this page and keeping us in prayers, I believe God will provide.  I've prayed about whether to do this for a while.  Usually my family is the one serving others in many areas,  so asking for help was not an easy decision.  We all have valleys in our life from time to time and this is ours.  We found out recently that our landlord is getting a divorce and needs to move back in our home we've been renting the last 5 years.  This was quite unexpected for all of us.  We just found out less than a week before Christmas, that we have to be out by the end of March.  The last three years,  mom has had increasing health issues that regularly end up with her in the hospital (5+times in 2018 alone) and seeing multiple specialists and the medical bills have continued to climb.  Dad and I  have our own health issues including me being in hospital multiple times this year,  that have added to a financial burden.   At my parents age and health and my own,  we can no longer do a move on our own,  with friends help,  like we did 5 years ago.  We really need to hire a moving company to help us move.  We need supplies like boxes,  bubble wrap,  packing tape,  etc to pack up our home.  We will need first and last months rent and deposit.   I'm guessing as to the amount we would need.   2018 has been a very rough year financially.  We've barely been able to keep a roof over our head and food on our table thanks to food pantrys. Any extra money has been for moms specialists, testing, and hospital bills.  The greatest Christmas gift going into 2019 would be the peace of mind to be able to search for a home to rent without the additional financial stress,  bc at this point,  we have nothing to move.  We are trying to downsize to a smaller home.  With short notice,  there isn't even time to see if we qualify to buy. If by chance,  the moving needs are met,  anything extra will be used for medical needs such as:  *Chris' specialists, heart,  kidney,  endocrine, etc,   that they want her to see on a regular basis but at $50 a visit,  add up.  *Don- doctor has told him he needs to get full  mouth extraction as his teeth need to come out and he needs dentures.  They are making him sick and causing much pain and struggle eating.   I strive to be completely honest and forthcoming with how any and all donations are  being spent as we are so very grateful for every penny.  Every dollar adds up and will help us.  If you are unable to donate,  please share this on your page or with others that know us and may want to help and please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.  That may not seem like much but prayers mean everything because we believe that God can create miracles. If it's His will, He will create the way.   Thank you.  We love you and are blessed to call you friends and family.
