Angie Ethridge Burda Needs YOU

My daughter, Angie Ethridge Burda, is seriously ill and needs a new liver. In the last 2 years she has been hospitalized 10 times. Most recently for almost 3 weeks with over a week on life support.

She needs help paying medical bills, expenses for her care and her teenage son. Every $$ helps, even $1.

About Angie.

“ Let me know if I can do anything to help, is a comment I hear so often these days regarding my daughter Angie Burda. Usually I respond “ Thank you, Angie just needs your prayers.” But the truth is Angie needs a lot. Angie is suffering from a rare stage 4 liver disease in tremendous pain and insufficiency at every level, every day. She always says, “ Dont worry mama.” But how can I not?

Angie is quiet about her needs that are far greater than her means to meet them. She has medical insurance but she struggles every month to meet the high premiums to keep it, not to mention the hundreds of thousands in hospital bills.. Staying warm cost money. Well meaning, wonderful friends and family say, “Let me know if we can do anything to help.” I usually respond “ just pray.” Winter is cold. Heat bills are high. Funds are scarce. Angie’s illness forced her into early retirement which means that she receives less than $600 a month and half of her full benefits. During her career she helped struggling grandparents raise their grand children. She secured grants and donations to help with school uniforms and supplies, utilities, etc. and made their Christmas’s happen through contributions and long work hours. She met the needs of grandparents and great grandparents who through no fault of their were raising their children’s children. She held hands and hearts, turning tears, into smiles working long hours, even when she was so sick could hardly make it herself. Most people who know Angie remember something she did for them. She is one person that has truly spent her life, helping. Growing up she helped her brother, her sister, friends, neighbors, church members and strangers. She helped me. Maybe she had even helped you in some way.

Today Angie struggles to finish raising her only son, Evan and faces expenses she can no longer meet.

If you know Angie you know her main concern is always for others. Now Is the time Angie seriously needs help. Any contribution will help. Repost if you will. Thank you. God bless you and have a very Merry Christmas. Anne Weber
