My name is Penny, and I am creating this fundraiser for myself and my immediate family as we try to make it through an incredibly painful season. In a short period of time, we have been hit with several heartbreaking hardships at once. We are grieving the death of my grandfather, while also carrying the deep sorrow of a stillborn birth in our family. On top of that, my dad has been dealing with medical issues and has been unable to work, which has placed even more stress on all of us. Trying to hold my family together through so much loss and uncertainty has been overwhelming. To help keep things going, I took out a loan to cover expenses and support my family while my dad is out of work. I am asking for help now because the weight of these costs has become more than I can manage alone. Your support will help with urgent family expenses, provide some stability while my dad is unable to work, and ease the burden of the loan I took on to help my family. If you are able to donate or even share this fundraiser, it would mean so much to us during this difficult time. Thank you for your kindness, support, and for keeping my family in your thoughts.
