Help Linda deal with Heartbreaking Tragedies

Help Linda During Her Darkest Moments

Hello, I'm reaching out to ask for support for our neighbor, Linda.

In the short time I have known her, Linda has faced an unimaginable series of heartbreaks that no one should have to endure alone.

Linda’s mom was diagnosed with cancer. She moved into her mother’s home and was her full-time caregiver through her illness, and, sadly, she passed away.

Soon after this heartbreaking loss, Linda’s only son passed away unexpectedly.

Devastating! To lose a child.

Linda, alone, took on the expenses of his funeral, etc., and is still paying the credit off, which has put a significant financial strain on her limited income.

Then, to compound her grief, Linda’s beloved dog, Bobby, who had been her faithful companion for 15 years, passed away over the summer. Bobby was her everything, giving her unconditional love and comfort through all her recent losses. His death left an unfillable void, and Linda struggled deeply. I encouraged her to adopt a puppy, hoping it would bring her some light in these dark times. She found Gracie, who has indeed been a lifeline, but now Linda faces a tragedy that no one could have anticipated.

Just days ago, Linda received a devastating call: her only daughter, Renee, 37, had suffered a pulmonary embolism that led to a cardiac arrest.

Renee was placed on life support, and passed away on November 7th. Her kidneys were recovered for gift of life❤️

Both of Linda's children have passed away this year. No parents should have to experience such loss!!!!

Linda is so understandably distraught, heartbroken, and in agony, she is just overwhelmed with grief after losing her last child and last immediate family member.

Despite her pain, she was by her daughter’s side in the ICU, urging her to keep fighting.

While staying close to her daughter, Linda helped to care for her daughter’s two young children (her grandchildren) Luka (he is 4) and Selene (she is 5). Linda is doing everything she can to support her grandchildren, who need stability and love in this difficult time, while also managing her own overwhelming sorrow.

Living on a fixed income, Linda is struggling to keep up with expenses. She had to stay in a hotel near the hospital to be close to her daughter, adding to her financial burden.

I’m starting this GoFundMe to help cover Linda's hotel expenses, travel costs, easing the ongoing burden of her son’s and daughter's funeral expenses.

Any contribution, big or small, and kind words, will help ease her burdens and let her know she’s not alone.

Thank you so much for reading Linda’s story and for any support you can offer. Please please please share this with others who might be able to help as well.

share on your neighborhood sites, social media pages, and any other places you think we can get the word out. There are caring and generous people in this world and hopefully this can be seen by some.
