Melanie's Loss and Recovery Fund

Donation protected


My dear friend, Melanie, lost her husband and her cat Meow, suddenly and tragically.   Melanie is devastated by the unexpected loss of her loved and edgy guy and her sweet cat.  Unfortunately, Mark died without any life insurance and with some debt, leaving Melanie in an even more challenging position on top of the vet bills, burial costs, and day-to-day mortgage and house survival.   I really want to reach out to friends and family who loved them both -or to anyone with a generous heart- to help Melanie regain some financial footing in this painful time. 
Melanie spends all of her time working with the mentally ill, senior mentaly ill, and the homeless.  Please share both your hugs AND your dollars.  Melanie gives her heart and soul to those in need every day and deserves the same love in return. 

Thank you so much!
