Support Eddie After Terry's Passing
Donation protected
Hello everyone, I have created this fundraiser in an effort to help a dear friend's husband, Eddie, who lost his wonderful wife, Terry Kathleen Brite, yesterday after a 3-month hospital stay due to pneumonia. Terry fought hard to live and spent most of her hospital stay on a ventilator and Eddie by her side daily.
Terry was a fierce advocate in our community. She and her husband Eddie were both very involved in animal rescue and have a small sanctuary here in town that houses a number of well-cared-for dogs and cats. She was always up for the change when it came to organizing events for people and their pets. My goal is to help make things a little easier for Eddie during this time. The primary goal for the funds raised will be to help cover out-of-pocket hospital costs, funeral services (date and time of her service will be posted at a later time but will be held soon), vet care for the animals in Eddie's care (they will be remaining in the home and Terry's legacy will continue on), food for the animals (I will be posting an Amazon Wishlist that will include specific items such as pet food, supplies for the animals, and some cleaning supplies), and whatever else Eddie needs with the fund, which will be given directly to him.
Our goal is to help and support Eddie as he continues on without his wonderful wife Terry. He plans to continue with the projects and vision they both had, and we all can help to make that happen. Hospital bills and such will soon start coming in the mail, so the $15k goal may end up changing; we just have to see what happens in the next few weeks. What I do know is that there have already been thousands of dollars spent, and we do not want our friend to have to worry about money at this time. He has given so much of his time in our community over the years, just as Terry did, and it is now our turn to help him.
No donation is too small; any and every donation will make a difference for Eddie and ease some of his worry. If you are not able to donate, we understand, but you can always share with others who may be able to. Please keep Eddie in your thoughts and prayers while he learns to cope without his love by his side.
