Tim Carpenter our dad and our mom’s husband passed away suddenly on February 10 2025. He spent one week in the ICU unable to breathe on his own and speak to us. That has left my mom in a panic situation. She currently has $110 in her bank account and she is devastated by the fact that we have not secured and set up the cremation leaving him unattended. This is  $1495.00. The house payment and both cars payments are also behind.Me and my siblings are going to help as much as we can, but I wanted to make it possible for others who want to and can help as well. I chose to do a spot fund instead of a GoFundMe because they only take out a 2.9% credit card fee into $.30 of every donation. we will be planning a celebration of life, but it will be next month. Thank you for all who have reached out already.

Sincerely,

the Carpenters, the Moores and the Hendersons

As some of you may know my mom’s medical condition has become worse than anticipated. She her self chose to do comfort care after the opinions the medical team gave her alone in a meeting on March 4th. Her heart is leaking in every valve and they could not help with medication until her lungs and infections were resolved and we just couldn’t make it there. Mom tried! We had an amazing 2 days with her very energetic and coherent. I tried to give everyone the chance to say their goodbyes to mom that I knew she would have wanted. I have done my best to honor my mom’s wish and take care of and keep her as pain free as possible. We have all come together to support one another in this time and that’s has been amazing. Please understand that we as a family are not ok and we do need some grace and time. Losing 2 parents in 30 days is not for the weak but god does have a plan. She is not conscious and as soon as her and god are ready she will go home to Tim! We will be having a joint Celebration of Life and the details will come soon! There will be no service or memorial but just a very small intimate dispersal of their ashes at the same time of where they have asked to be spread! The celebration of life will be for anyone who cared for loved or were friends with Tim and Barb! Texts or cards of sympathy are welcome and I can provide addresses of all of us kids if you ask! Please no flowers as they are wonderful but if you would like to help donate! Their money will be used for the celebration of life and Final financial expenses!

Thank you from the Carpenters Immediate Family

please read this important update!
as many of you probably know by now my mom was admitted to the hospital February 22 at about 3:30 PM. I took her to the ER because she was very confused and weak and could not breathe the previous Monday. She did not feel well and went to urgent care and was diagnosed with influenza a. She took the antiviral medication, but her body was already weak. When she was admitted to the hospital, they told us that she had double pneumonia from the influenza and she was positive for MRSA and she also had a fungal infection. This picture was her birthday. I went and decorated her room and brought her some Yummies and beautiful flowers with balloons. At this point, we are unsure that my mom is going to pull through and we will have more information on Monday. We were able to get the funds to get Tim picked up and taken care of the more aspects at this point of things that are going to be needing taken care of. If in fact, she is able to go home she cannot work. She is going to need to downsize significantly into a way to be able to financially take care of herself. If you would like to help our family in anyway moving forward whatever that may look like please feel free to donate. We were planning on Tim’s celebration of life being March 15 but as of now that is on hold, but no matter what it will be held in his honor and details will follow. Thank you for all the love and support we have gotten during this all. It’s been kind of traumatic.
