NEED SOME HELP FOR A FRIEND!
My friends have just experienced an
unexpected death. Martha Morris was the mother of an Army wife and only
child, Amanda. Due to disability, she had lived with her daughter and
son-in-law for many years.
A little over a week ago, Martha had
a heart attack. They rushed her by ambulance from the Army post to the
nearest hospital with a cardiac unit. It was over an hour away. They
expected to put stints in to open everything up but her heart was too
badly blocked for the stints and doctors planned a triple by-pass. Due
to weakened lungs from years of battking COPD, Martha's health declined
rapidly and was never able to have the by-pass thst could have saved her
life.
Martha was in the hospital over a week. The drive is over
an hour away from here and my friend was driving back and forth
everyday, sometimes twice a day. This has made a major impact on a
family with only one income and now unexpected death have only added to
the costs.
My friend is 39, but also disabled by several medical
conditions. Her husband is an active duty soldier in the army, and they
have two children. John currenty works 2nd shift as an armorer leaving
it virtuably impossible to get an additional jop.
Given their
financial situation they have chosen a cost-effectived cremation and
will ne transporting her remains back to Texas for burial
themselves. There is no insurance to help with the expenses. The cost
is $2513.50 and this is an amount that they just simply don't have. They
will not release her mother's remains until the full amount is paid.
If
you wish to send funds directly (GFM takes 9% of each pledge, but
that's still cheaper than wire transfer), my paypal is dwbrister (at)
gmail.com - please send as friend/gift so no additional fees are
assessed, we're trying to make sure that as much of each gift ad
possible goes to getting her mother back home as soon as possible.
