Help Alanna and her girls keep her their home
I met Alanna in 2016 as we were both
about to be new moms and looking for
community to go with motherhood.
At first glance you would never know thehardships she has faced in her life and the weight she carries on her shoulders.
❤️❤️
She is a single mother who needs help to keep the house she is raising her girls in.
Alanna was living with her loving father, Jeffrey, who was helping to raise her girls when he suddenly passed away at 63. He is missed tremendously and his support for their family can not be understated. He worked so hard to keep the roof over their heads and without him, Alanna and her girls, Elliana, Nora, and Charlotte have a huge burden to carry.
Anything you can give will help to give Alanna time to get the mortgage put in her name and ease the transition into life without her ROCK.

Words from Jeffrey’s obituary:
On Monday April 12th, 2021, Jeffrey T. Mueller, aka Papa aka Magnum aka Skipper, passed away from being an "old man", in his home with his dog by his side. Born February 2nd, 1958 in Chicago, IL to Helen (Kielbasa) and Theodore K. Mueller (He would want us to note that at 63, he was the oldest living male in his immediate family and was pretty dang proud of it.) Jeff graduated from Harper College and went to begin the legend that is now today J.T. Curtis, Inc., working as a Steel Architect (the company named lovingly after his father, son, and of course himself). But before he made his name, he learned his trade working for Composite Steel, where he always spoke so highly of the men he learned and grew from. Dad was so proud to have finally learned how to use a computer and really made a name for himself and his work, but somehow never got around to figuring out that cell phone (I still blame Samsung). Jeff was married to Mary K. Havell (Paul Longeway) on November 26th 1986 and proudly went on to create and raise two of the coolest people on the planet, Theodore and Alanna (Dad would take the "cool" credit). Fun fact, if you look up "Worlds Best Dad" in the dictionary, you'll find a photo of his face. When Dad wasn't working his business or on his home and backyard, coaching his sons sports teams, cracking really impressive Dad Jokes, or wowing all the ladies with his long hair as the Drummer in his band days, he was either fishing on his prized bass boat, golfing, racing on his VR, tinkering with his car (and dreaming of his one day Corvette), or relaxing. But that all was very few and far between as his main role was "Papa" to his three grand-daughters (Elliana, Nora, Charlotte) and he put that role before any other in his life, up until his last living breath. Survivors include his mother, Helen Mueller (Kielbasa), sister, Joyce Mueller, children, Theodore and Alanna, the most beautiful grandchildren, Elliana and Nora (Mueller), lots of the "huge Polish Family", and his beloved best friend, Kilby. In addition to his father, Jeff was preceded in death by his grand-daughter Charlotte in 2019, who is currently and forever attached to his hip (he's still babysitting even after he's gone. Sorry, Dad.)
