I became a Christian at a Billy Graham Crusade in 1972, and Jesus has been the Lord of my life ever since. I lost my mom in 1978 after a 6-year battle with emphysema. She missed out on so much! My 30-year teaching career, my 12-year marriage, the birth of my sons, now 30 and 28 and my grandsons, ages 6 and 3. In 2006, I lost my husband to an accidental opiate overdose. I became a single parent and struggled to pay the bills. I’m retired now, but I’ve been challenged by UTIs, arthritis, Covid, and pneumonia for the last 5 years. I spent 4 weeks in the hospital between Feb. 2024 and December 2024. The hardest part of being a 69-year old widow is managing the finances. I need funds to help contribute to my son’s wedding; to get a recliner designed for lumbar injuries; and to get rid of some credit card debt. Worrying about money causes anxiety and depression, and I feel ashamed that I can’t handle all the bills. Family and friends, as well as churches, have helped in the past, but are unable to do so now.
I am on oxygen and use a walker. I also have some memory loss.
I would appreciate your prayers and any help you can give as an extension of God’s grace. Thank you!
