FOR A BEAUTIFUL SEND OFF HOME FUNERAL EXPENSES &
Donation protected
- Hi, my name is Jennifer V. I am trying to raise money for a beautiful send-off to my child's resting place in paradise. I was blessed with the pleasure of having custody of Efrain. I wanted to protect him from the moment I met him. The natural mother instinct kicked in without a 2nd thought or doubt. I made it a habit to constantly check in and make sure if he and his brother needed anything or anyone, my children and I were always available. Then one day, I was asked by the school social worker if I could take Efrain to court for a truancy case, and I said sure again, not once thinking twice. Little did I know that day would change my life. I left the courthouse with one more child that I had to protect and care for and love even more. So our journey as a family began. We went from 5 to 6 in a blink of an eye. { then seven very shortly after cause I was granted custody of his brother} I was a single mother, and although at times it was a struggle, we never once doubted our love for one another. I became more aware of the battles of mental health. Efrain had an IEP, ODD, OED, and PTSD, AND HE needed to be on medication and meet with a mental health counselor every week. So I advocated for him every chance I got. And even though we would agree to disagree, we always figured it out. When asked who he and his brother were, I called them my God-Given kids because I genuinely believed we were brought into each other's lives for a reason. Efrain was very good at math, and I called him my rain man. He was sweet, kind, caring, and very protective; he always wanted to help out in anyway possible. He could make you smile or laugh with his goofy sense of humor. A little man in a kid's body cause life had left a tough exterior, but we were lucky enough to see the soft interior -the loving side. Little did I know that my God-Given child would have to be given back to God so suddenly; he was off to a better place, and we were left with questions that had no answers. With nothing but sweet memories and a yearning so great, it sometimes seems unbearable. I imagined life with us growing old as a family and all my children succeeding. Little did I know Friday would be our last good morning greeting. Even though I wasn't biologically his mother, he was still my children's brother, and I love him like no other. His birthday is 09/13, and mine is 09/16. He would have been 18 and I 46; he'll celebrate in heavenly bliss, and we'll be down here missing and mourning and our hearts full of wish. So if ever in life I can do right by him, please, anything helps to have a bit of help to rest him in heavenly peace. If ever we need for him to see us, we will shine so bright down here that he will see us so brightly from up there; WE LOVE YOU EFRAIN . PROTECT OUR LOVED ONES UP THERE, AND ILL WORK HARD TO DO SO DOWN HERE UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MY SWEET CHILD
