Happy Wednesday friends! Today I am humbly sharing and amazing update on the go fund me that was created for my mom (You can go HERE to go directly to the page).
As I shared a couple of months ago, some of you are aware after an extremely difficult decade of helping to take care of Rebecca in her prolonged illnesses with Cancer and Advanced Late Stage Lyme Disease, our family experienced the heartbreaking and unexpected loss of our father in May 2019. My parents were on the verge of their 50th wedding anniversary in August and this has been the most painful thing for my mom. Then 2 months ago in September, our beloved grandmother and friend also died. This past July our mom had decided to move home to our parents house in TN to restart her life in numerous ways. What she was not expecting to find was mold in a room in our finished downstairs. Devastatingly, after getting numerous estimates and having numerous mold experts in to look at her home it has been found that there is mold throughout the entire downstairs and that everything in the downstairs (including furniture, cherished items, household items, family pictures, items in our father's office, etc. are completely ruined.
As I also shared, this has been an unexpected and devastating blow to our mom who has already suffered so much and will also cost a significant amount of money that is truly staggering. She has also been advised that this should be done immediately for the sake of health reasons and the amount of mold.

I am so overwhelmed to share that we currently our a little bit over a 1/3 and nearing the 1/2 point of the way to reaching our goal!!!! Y'all- there are COMPLETE tears at the way that you have been giving and sharing this with others.

Today.
As some of you are aware today we begin mold remediation at on our downstairs at my mom's house and we would covet prayers.
First, THANK YOU to those who contributed to the go fund me page that we started for my mom. We were able to raise some money to help offset the cost of this very very expensive time. I have been asked if you can still contribute and the answer is a very humble yes. You can click HERE to go directly to the go fund me page.
Second, we mostly appreciate your prayers in this process. As some of you know when I moved home nearly a decade ago because I was so sick with Advanced Late Stage Lyme Disease, Cancer, and several other health issues we just moved my entire apartment into the downstairs and never went through things assuming that life would not take the near decade it did to get better. Two years after I moved home and after traveling physically (literally) or my records traveling around the world we moved up to New York for me to receive proper treatment in order to save my life. Because I was so sick there was no time to go through anything and so to lose everything to the mold has been emotional on so many levels. It definitely has felt like my "pre life" to being sick has been completely wiped out. The things are replaceable - they are just things, but special gifts, letters, and items from both my precious daddy and Ba are heartbreaking to lose and this has been very very difficult for me in this grief journey. There has been lots of tears this past week... lots of grief in different ways... and so today is just very hard. I appreciate your prayers for my heart in this process.
Also downstairs was my dad's office, some family heirlooms, personal private family items, some of my sisters things, and lots of pictures and treasured pieces of my mom's. YES, some things can be cleaned and we have appreciated the compassion that we have been met with, but most things are lost and this is a very hard day for us. Please pray for my mom and I today as we begin here in a little bit this process of going through very quickly decisions that need to be made.
Thank you for all of your love, support, and prayers on this difficult day.
