Help Katharine pay her bills

Donation protected

Hi my name is Julie and am starting a fundraiser for my dearest friend Katharine!! We have been friends since 1960!! Katharine is one of the most selfless, caring people I have known!! She had a very successful catering business in Atlanta for years till she lost it caring for her husband, Art the love of her life . She refused to put Art in a nursing home and used every cent she had to take care of him till he passed 10 years ago to Louis body disease. Katharine also suffers from a debilitating disease, fibromyalgia. She is in great pain Every Day yet she keeps going caring for others. Her only source of income is caregiving for the elderly and preparing meals for those at her condo community!! Well last week she traveled to our summer home, Westport Ma for her nephews wedding. She then traveled to Cape Elizabeth Maine to reunite with childhood friends. On her last day before returning to Fla, she fell and broke her leg in 2 places which required surgery, very serious injury which now will require her to undergo 3 months of rehab!! To make matters worse she can’t have her other love Petie (her dog) with her. He is left back in Fla. I am so concerned that Katharine will lose her home if she can’t work and can’t pay her mortgage or bills for the next 3 months. With that said I am asking any family, friends or anyone who can relate to donate whatever they can!! My goal is to raise 5,000 maybe more. If just 25 of her friends or family donated 200 each we could truly help a friend and make a difference in someone’s life. Someone who is truly a caring, selfless woman!!

Thanks
