Fundraiser to help the Howard family
Donation protected
Hello!
My name is Stefani, and I am starting this fundraiser for my wonderful friend, Donna. As some of you may already know, Donna’s sister Crystal has recently suffered a massive stroke which has left her unable to care for herself or her children, and now requires 24 hour care.
Donna and Crystal are extremely close, and since this happened, Donna has not left her side.
Crystal was in the hospital on her birthday, so Donna organized a small gathering for her so she could be surrounded by her loved ones and children! Since then, Donna has moved into her sisters house and has become her primary caregiver, making sure she has everything she needs.
Anyone that knows Donna, will already know how truly amazing she is; but allow me to shed some light for those that don’t know her. Donna is the most caring and selfless woman I have ever met, and she is truly a blessing to anyone that knows her. She is an incredible mother, family member, and friend. She makes herself available at all times (even when she’s not sure how she will get it all done) to make sure the people she loves are happy and healthy. She is very active and involved in the kid’s school and extracurricular activities.
Between Donna and Crystal, there are seven kids. Seven kids that have school, homework, school events, sports, cheer, birthdays, etc. and somehow Donna is able to make sure all of them are exactly where they need to be- all while being her sister’s primary caregiver.
Donna was in a motorcycle accident a few years ago, and suffered major injuries that she still struggles with to this day. But she doesn’t let that, or anything else stop her from doing what she needs to do. She is truly the strongest, fiercest woman that I know!
In summary, since this happened, Donna has taken on all of her sisters bills, including the house payment, on top of all of the bills she already had of her own. She is now the provider for herself, her sister, and their seven children. And with Christmas quickly approaching, I wanted to make this fundraiser for her to try and take some of that weight off of her shoulders. So even if you are not able to donate to this family, could you please share this? Anything helps, and is greatly appreciated!
thank you so much for reading! :)
