Please help a family in need when needed most

To all my family and friends and anyone else who has the ability to help in any way possible. My name is Mark Hensel and I am the neighbor of the Mosley family. Rose and Melvin Mosley are the parents of Melvia Mosley, a 35 year old wonderful mother of 3 truly great children. The two boys, Devon and Makhi, ages 11 and 9 and one beautiful daughter Araya who is 7. On the night of November 22nd, Melvin and Rose got a call that no parent wants to get. Their grandchild called them that night saying that their mom was on the ground and she wasn’t breathing. They rushed to their daughters home to find her unresponsive. Unfortunately, Melvia passed away that night from a massive heart attack caused by a pulmonary embolism. With the children's father completely out of the family picture, it is now Melvin and Rose’s duty as grandparents to now become the guardians of these 3 wonderful grandchildren. With both Melvin and Rose being in their 70s, this will be an extremely difficult, uphill challenge to raise 3 children on their own. Both are retired and have a limited income. Speaking from personal experience, I know how difficult it is to raise children, even as a 39 year old with a good career let alone as two aged retired grandparents. Melvin and Rose are both Vietnam Vets and are two of the nicest and most caring people you would ever meet. When we moved to this neighborhood last year at this time, they were the first ones to welcome us and truly made us feel at home. They have lived on this street since the house was built in 1971. I am asking from the bottom of my heart for you to be able to donate to help these children have the Christmas they truly deserve and need. And also to help Melvin and Rose financially be able to raise these children and help give them the future they fully deserve. Even if you cannot donate, the kids are writing Christmas lists as I type this and even a small toy or gift would go a long way. Please share this with all who you know and that have the heart to be able to help this truly wonderful family that I am so happy to call my neighbors. Thank you so much

Sincerely,

Mark Hensel
