Helping Kim Survive.

Donation protected
I am reaching out to friends, family, and even those we may not know very well on behalf of my cousin, Kim (Turman) Laurinaitis.  As many of you know, Kim lost her adoring husband Joe (aka Road Warrior Animal) on 9/22/20, who suddenly passed away on the night of their wedding anniversary. It was a traumatic experience no one should ever have to go through, and Kim has had to endure more problems than imaginable since that day. Unfortunately, there was NO LIFE INSURANCE POLICY ON JOE due to his medical conditions. Kim has been able to survive living on what money they had in savings, which is now gone. Kim was already a breast cancer survivor, now recently diagnosed with a rare eye cancer, ocular melanoma, which she is undergoing treatment for to attempt to preserve her vision. This makes it very difficult to find a job with the side effects of her treatment and condition.
She must continue treatment, but with insurmountable medical bills and the inability to earn a paycheck at the present time, we are asking for all the help we can get. Kim is faced with the task of downsizing to a smaller home, as well as not having the current funds to move regardless, it is a daily struggle to say the least. Our hearts break for Kim, who is trying so hard, but running into road blocks at every turn. She is extremely worried & scared, not knowing where to turn for help. I am organizing this Go Fund Me in hopes to raise money for this selfless person to not only continue to receive her treatment, pay her medical bills, and keep a roof over her head, but simply to survive. My goal is $20,000.  Lets see if we can top that goal, remembering Joe, and the love he had for his beloved wife, Kim.  Any and every amount contributed is greatly appreciated more than you know. Thank you and God bless.
