Help for Chris & Family

Hello my name is Chris Ferrell (23) and I am starting this go fund me for my mother Kimberly (44), who tragically passed away on December 12th, she is also leaving behind my little sister Aubrey (7) and countless family members and friends. There is never a good time to lose a loved one, and if I had to pick a “worst” time, I’d have to say Christmas time would be among the top of the list as I am feeling the bitterness of that reality now. Life as we all are very much aware I’m sure, that life is overwhelming difficult as it is, more now than I can ever remember, and this is just devastating. My family are very devoted Christian’s, as my great grandfather was a minister himself and instilled his faith into my grandmother, she subsequently passed it to my mother, and as for me, while I have always believed in god, I couldn’t say I fully could understand the true power he possesses. On July 31st 2017, I cut my brachial artery in my arm along with my median nerve and came face to face with my creator. As I laid there dying in my friends arms, who’s name deserves to be known (Austin piliro) I did begin to see that white light leading to heaven. During my time in that white I heard two voices, Austin’s and my mothers. I seemed like my entire life was flashing before my eyes in just a couple minutes. I kept seeing her face and her saying “I’m right here with you baby it’s going to be okay), and I heard Austin keep telling me to snap out of it to “wake back up”when I felt like letting go. While I did not hear gods voice that night, the second I woke up in the hospital the following day, I believe I felt his hand on my shoulder. That was when I began to indulge in the mysterious beauty of gods plan. That wasn’t my time and my mom was one of the first people I asked why I didn’t die and she told me “He didn’t take you because he has other plans for you”. He knew all along that this day would come and that I was going to need to be there for my family, most especially my precious sister, while very much knowing exactly who mommy is to an extent that I’ll never even know because I can’t begin to imagine the connection between a mother and her daughter, ultimately will never have her mommy see her grow up although we know she’ll live on forever through our dreams, thoughts, and accomplishments. My mom was against marriage which is the only reason I feel legally obligated to say boyfriend, but her husband in my eyes and hers too, was diagnosed with kidney failure a few years back and he himself also found himself hanging on to dear life itself. He was put on the donor list and as time passed, his chances slimmed and slimmed each day. Something had to happen drastically. My grandmother (mothers side) had decided to see if she was a match because of how much he truly meant to us and our family, we are one. Would you believe me if I told you a match ? Unfortunately there was an overlooked diagnoses from when she younger and was ruled ineligible. Her identical twin sister, who happens to live next door for a matter of fact, thought “well if you’re a match, I must be because after all, we are twins !” So wouldn’t you know ?, she was a match as well. The procedure went smooth and both of them were back on their feet faster than expected ! The power god possesses is beyond belief. At the time of writing this I cannot put a timestamp on it, but it’s been about 4 years I’d say and still to this day are better than ever could have expected. But the harsh reality of the situation is that her boyfriend doesn’t truly know how much time he is granted, and nobody does. The odds are stacked against everybody, his stack is now just that much higher, and he expresses this to me, and he has always expressed it because in case anything were ever to happen to him, that is an irreplaceable void to fill. Now I’m faced with the daunting task of moving forward with my life after this loss, and the second I knew my mom was gone, the first thing I thought about was my sister. I know you’ve probably heard of a “girl dad”, but get ready to get acquainted with a “girlther”. My sole priority behind this go fund me is to help add to a nest egg for the future to help aid me and my family in this heartbreaking moment in our lives, as well as the future, after all, we never know when our time is or what is to come. If you could find it in your heart to donate, me and my family would be endlessly grateful. There is no way to differentiate the gratitude behind $1, $5 $100, any amount of money for the matter, a share to get my mothers story out there and heard, and most importantly keeping us in your prayers !
