Drew Ford Wife, Kiki needs support and love.

*I want to keep updating. So please come back and read again.

Hi. This is Kiki. I’m sorry my English is so bad and I’m also so emotional.

I’m Andrew (Drew Ford) wife. We are together for 12 years. I came form Japan to attend SVA in NYC. We connected together because of Art and beauty. My entire adulthood is all about him. I don’t know anything about love until I met him. We live together right away since we first met.

Andrew (Drew Ford) was found September 26,2022 on the street of Brooklyn. He was in the car and had a COVID related pneumonia. He went to storage to work with his recent book and pick up both of us lunch on the way home. He never come back. He always text me every hours but he never did. They found him on the road of Brooklyn. His heart was stop working for over 20min. People who found and help him, try there best to make his heart work again. They took him to Emergency room in Sunset park Brooklyn. They moved him to ICU September 28, 2022. Doctor told me Andrew (Drew) is brain dead and he will never wake up to see me again. According to NY state law, he is dead. He is on machine right now so I can do an organ donations. But I will never see him, talk to him, tell him that I love you again. His brain has so much damage because it was no oxygen for really long time. It show no sign of recover. He was healthy and he is so young. He don’t drink, smoke or any drug. Sadly, doctor told me his COVID related pheumonia was really bad. He coudn't breathe. His lungs didn't produce enought oxygent to his brain. His heart stopped working due to the brain dead. Unfortunally, his life insurance can't pay. It was cancelled due to missed payments.

We're fully vaccinated and always wear a mask. Drew always wears a mask even inside apartment's building to check the mailbox. We always wash our hands and use sanitizers. We barely eat out and avoid crowded areas. Drew works so hard to stay safe for family.

People know my husband as Drew Ford. He is publisher of IT’S ALIVE. He loves comic books. He edit and publish books by himself. He work from very rundown apartment that we live together with our cat Lolo. He work so hard everyday and he dedicate his life to his company and comics. He’s small independant publisher. He pack and ship each book by his hand. I help him sometime. We work so hard. He carry heavy book from stairs to stairs by himself. He want to save beautiful history of comic books. He want to publish the work that significant for comic books lovers around the world. He want to preserve history of comic book for future generation. He work everyday. He wake up early morning and work until after midnight. He always happy to shows me a book that he received from the printer. Because of him doing everything by himself, it was a very slow process. I watched him everyday working and I really want to say thank you for people who patiently wait to receive the books. Thank your for supporting and believing in what he doing.

My name is Kiki. I came from Japan. I was born in very abusive household. My father and mother beat and sexually abuse me since I was little girl. My first memory of from 3 years old was my parents having sexual intercourse in the same room and in front of me. And abuse got worse and worse over time. I was forced in and out of school around the country base on my parents need. Because of that I’m having hard time with language and communication. I dream to come to United States and attend art school, then meet someone special. Love and be loved. I want to know the world beyond the abuse. That was my motivation to keep me going though abuse as a little girl.

In 2014, I was diagnosed with clinical depression and PTSD. I’m suffer from sexual and phycological abuse that happen from me for 20 years long. Andrew (Drew) never judge me but love me. Back in the day when I met Andrew(Drew), he was suffer and broken man. I barely know anything about him but I couldn’t abandone him. I took him in my tiny studio apartment and I support him financially for few years when I was in college. After my clinical depression and PTSD worsen over time, he worked so hard that we move to Brooklyn to an apartment that he was responsible for, signed for the lease, he is the one who supported me financially and mentally now. He always said sorry and how he feel guilty about I financially support him in my 20s and didn’t have youth experience much.

My clinical deperesstion and PTSD get worse and I can’t go out, I can’t work,I can’t communicate with people. He help me with everything. He is so kind. He found a new doctor, specialist of PTSD from the abuse. We were plan to go and then Covid happens. We were talking about we will go together after pandemic getting better. But he will never go with me.

Andrew is waiting to donate his organs right now. We are in the hospital in Manhattan NY.

I want you to know Andrew(Drew) from my personal story. People know him as Drew but I always enjoy calling him Andrew. It make me feeI special and cosy. I’m happiest to be his wife, to meet him, to love him and be loved by him. He said he only have me. He said he would never leave me alone. He always going to be next to me. And I don’t want to live without him. We love going to Brooklyn Botanic Garden, museums and zoo. We always go to see the swans at Prospect Park. He took me to rose garden around NY every years. I love to see and smell roses with him. He loves to read to me. He loved to read children book to me because I never have anyone read to me when I was a child. We ate and do same thing. We drink tea together everyday. We love Lolo the cat as our child. We were inseperable. I believe in love and Andrew(Drew) I never know I’m capable to love anybody until I met him. He loved to call my name. He worked me up every morning said “Kiki” He love Japanese foods. I wanted to take him to Japan. We want to move in a house with big window for Lolo the cat. I love him more and more each years. He make me believe in love and life again. Recently, I stared to go beginner knitting class. For 6 years, this is the first time I interacted with people. Andrew (Drew) was so happy with my knitting class and I start to make friends again. He took me and picked me up and ask me about what I learn about knitting. The last day of knitting class that he plan to drop me off, I found him in emergency room. He is so young, he not supposed to die like this. I want to have his baby and I’m devastated. I suffer so much with Clinical depression and PTSD and I was not capable to work to have a baby all these years. It's impossible now.

My ultimate goals are, be independent, make Andrew(Drew) proud of me, be a strong mom for Lolo the cat. The funding will be support the rent, utility, food, transportation, medical, Lolo the cat, funeral, and all the living expense for the next few months.

I have no family and friend in United States. I have no family and home in Japan. Andrew and Lolo are only family I have. Because of my situation and condition, my husband Andrew(Drew) is the only one who was working. He is my everything and he is my entire world. My cat Lolo which is rescued in 2016 from shelter. Andrew (Drew) so kind to Lolo. He clean the cat box, food dishes, every single days. Andrew loves Lolo so deeply. I need your help to be able to stand with my two feet and be independent again. I want to be able to work again and make Andrew(Drew) to be proud of me. I need to take care of myself and Lolo the cat. Lolo is sleeping in Andrew(Drew) clothes everyday since he passed. Lolo miss him so much. We need a financial helps. I barely have anything left now. I believe Andrew (Drew) want me to stand with my two feet and taking care of Lolo the cat. I want to overcome clinical depression and PTSD. I need your help to go thought this painful journey. I can’t make it alone it too much for me without Andrew(Drew). It too overwelming for me right now. Please consider any help. I’m happy to answer question. It might take some time to respond. Thank you for understanding and love.

We both came from a broken home. Drew(Andrew)'s family did not help me financially since he passed. I never talk to his parents, even though I helped him with money and an apartment for so many years. I never have a BD card or hi from my husband's parents. Andrew(Drew) always protects me.

I need to make it clear about our financial situation!!!

In 2010, when he lost his job and apartment, his family didn't help him. I didn't know a lot about him back then but I didn't abandon him. I wanted to help him, I saw a good in him. He turned out to be a wonderful husband. When I'm really sick with clinical depression and PTSD, he took care of me. He took over the household and he was the breadwinner.

I want to make it clear that I did not receive any financial help from Drew's family. His father is still alive but he never calls me. I just met his sister for the first time last week. I need to come up with this money myself and you are helping me.

I want to be able to work again but I need your help right now. Because of your donation and support, I paid for his cremation and funeral yesterday. Because of all of you. I wish I could see all of your faces and say thank you. You paid for his cremation, funeral, Lolo the cat and my foods. You are Drew family and friend. You are my family and friends now.
