Joy's family needs help

Donation protected
No family should ever have to watch their loved ones die after a long battle with cancer, but many do.  Imagine being at your lowest point and instead of trying to hold each other and grieve,  you are struggling financially.  Medical bills to pay, the loss of  wages, the loss of a job as the primary care giver, and worry over the future. 

The business side of death takes weeks to sort out, but bills need to be paid now.  The family needs to eat.  Arrangements need to be made and everyone wants to be paid. 

Asking for help is hard, and uncomfortable.  Joy & Donald's friends have been generously giving whatever help and support they can give.  A little more help is still needed. Please help me spread the word and share this request on every forum and social media site you participate in.  Sometimes all it takes is to put that need out into the universe, and help will arrive.   

This family has been through so much already and their worries are preventing them from being able to grieve.  Even worse, their situation is making it hard to take care of all the things they must now do.  I would give anything to bring Joy back, happy and healthy but since I don't have any super powers, the next best thing is to try to help the family Joy left behind.  All of you know someone that knows Joy and her family, if we all contribute just $10.00 we can make an immediate difference in the family's immediate circumstances.  Please join me in remembering Joy's generosity and love by helping her family during this terrible time.
