Final Expenses for Kevin Coombs and support for his wife Carrie and 9 year old son Nicholas



My twin sister, Carrie Coombs's husband, Kevin, passed away today at 2:56 pm. Carrie left her job of 23 years, 3 years ago in order to become a full-time caregiver for Kevin. He was a disabled Army Veteran. With Kevin's passing, Carrie will lose 80% of her family's income. She was fortunate enough to qualify and be trained through the VA to be a paid caregiver for him, now that he's gone, she will no longer receive that.They have a 9 year old son at home as well, that needs to be taken care of.

I'm asking for assistance in helping with Kevin's final expenses, as well as, funds to help Carrie get through the next couple of months, while she and her son grieve and she transitions back into the workforce.

Carrie has selflessly given of herself in many ways to her son's school, community, and most importantly, her husband. Its time we return her love.

Your generosity in helping such a wonderful woman, whose become a widow at such a young age, is greatly appreciated.

Kevin was a type 1 diabetic in end stage renal disease, who had several falls in the last 2 years, that left him a partial quadriplegic. Carrie, selflessly took on the role of his full-time caregiver, sacrificing her career for her loving husband. It has been a very difficult journey learning how to become a single parent household, while taking care of Kevin full-time. If we can ease the stress on her during this transition, it would be greatly appreciated.

We are fortunate enough to know, that through organ/tissue donation, Kevin is being able to help countless recipients.
