Help Pam Pratt Ferro - The one who helps, needs us
Donation protected
My name is Lee Elfstrom and Pam Pratt Ferro is my lifelong best friend. Pam has spent her life helping people in times of need in both big and small ways. Asking for help is something that is very difficult, if not impossible, for her to do. I have watched her struggle for 2 years now and because of the suggestion of a friend, decided to start this fundraiser for her.
Pam is single, very independent and one of the hardest workers I know. After her divorce several years ago, she worked three jobs to make ends meet and provide a good home for her grandson, Noah, who she raised. She is working very hard to restart her career as a real estate agent, volunteers in her community, never meets a stranger and always makes time to listen to and care for others.
18 months ago, Pam tripped on an exposed ground wire and broke her arm in 4 places. At that time she did not have health insurance so she elected to get the arm set and splinted versus having surgery that would have left her deep in debt. The injury was severe and painful and she was unable to work for about 4 months. She returned to work and caught up on bills both personal and professional, as well as medical bills from the accident. Unfortunately, she learned that a colleague was using unethical business practices and had to separate from him.
To be closer to her kids, she moved to Colorado in the Spring of 2020 to work for a large real estate company. Then the Pandemic hit and no one was moving. She has not closed a sale since September 2020. With historically low inventory, an influx of buyers, low interest rates generating multiple offers well over the list price on almost every listing, the real estate industry has been hit hard.
In November of 2020, Pam's mother's health began declining. Pam went to Kansas every month to help her Mom and give her Dad some much needed relief.
Her precious mom died in March 2021. All together, she spent 9 weeks in Kansas between January and March of this year.
Upon returning to Colorado after the funeral, she went to the dentist and needs $4800 in dental work as soon as possible. Pam had 46 rounds of radiation for breast cancer years ago, which effected her teeth and bones. In the past 5 weeks, she has had 5 teeth pulled and needs to get a partial. Right now she just keeps her mask on at all times in public. Some of the teeth are in the front and can be seen.
She needs help with at least a month's bills and dental expenses. Any amount you can contribute will be greatly appreciated and thank you for helping me to help my friend!
