Niki and Steve’s Stockdale’s Financial Help Fund

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Christiana Sweetwood. The little sister to Niki Stockdale, and Steve Stockdale’s sister in law. I am trying to raise financial funds for my sisters family while her husband Steve is undergoing chemo and surgeries from having stage 4 colon cancer. While my sister babysits kids from home, it is not enough. Steve will be loosing his job his month. He will most likely be not returning to work unfortunately. He has been extremely sick and in and out of the hospital. His mental state has really struggled through having chemo. Most of his time at this point is in bed. My sister is now trying to make what she can, while being his caregiver. Someone has to be there to change his port and help him daily. So going back to full time work is not an option. She also has three young children to care for on top of it. Disability will not kick in for their family until almost the beginning of next year. Which means for months they will be without very much. And even disability will not cover the bills they have ahead of them. The mountain of stress mounting on my sister has just become to much weight. This is a women who gives and gives and gives Of herself. As a mother. As a wife. As a sister and as a friend. Three years ago, when I lost my marine son, she came 8 months pregnant to be by my side. She dragged along her little ones and flew from New York to all over the west coast with us. Niki was my rock. I could not have survived without her. Two months later, her son Caelan was murdered. My son and her son were as close as brothers. Now, in all honest truth will have to face loosing her husband. Through all this pain, she gives. She shows love. She brings anyone who needs help, or love, into her arms and fully embraces. Without judgment, without negativity. It’s hard for me to understand why god does all he does. But if I can help her family by relieving financial stress for a while, it is the least I can do, after all I have watched her do for others. This may help my sister to spend the time over the next couple month, to not have to run around in complete stress and fatigue, and instead just bond with her husband and kids while going through this extremely hard time. To loose a child was hard enough. Most don’t even recover from that. She already was struggling with this aspect of life. It’s just sometimes too much. They do not ask for help very often from anyone. But my gut says it’s time. Time to get them help. Steve has worked so hard for so many years. Bone hard work. The universe hopefully will help me give back to him for taking good financial care of my sister and their children whom I deeply love with my whole soul. Hang in their Stockdale’s. I know I’m far. But I got your 6. Love you guys.
