Help The Anderson's

In April of 2023 our family took the biggest loss imaginable. My wife Sally , my son Maks's mother passed away from a brainuarism at 11:30 AM. I was at the store getting groceries and my 11 year old walked in to the bedroom and found her dead. This moment was the most devastating and depressing time in our lives.


After her passing I brought my son for 2 months straight to EMDR therapy to help combat against PTSD. We had a family friend that was in the industry and was able to get us into a counselor pretty fas. I will forever be grateful for this.

My son Maks did amazing and was able to really use that timer to clear out the trauma and understand what happened. Unfortunately for me I neglected myself while in focus of keeping the household together.

As I was going through our affairs I came across the most devastating piece of paper any widow or widower wants to find. It was my late wife Sally's life insurance notice of cancellation. We both carried 2 million in life insurance because we always said if one of us goes and we have a child that we want to make sure that doesn't have to work and can take of the family.

FOr the last 8 years my wife was diagnosis with chronic depression with psychosis. So hallucinations were common and it was very life to live with that type of disease. During her episodes she must have cancelled or not paid the policy and did not tell me. I fell to the ground at that point and broke down since she had no life insurance and a lot of bills.

Our lease was up and the landlord said we could not renew so we were forced to move. During this time my wife's family though there was 2 million dollars and hired lawyers to come after anything of my wifes. I had to hire and attorney to defend against our own things which wasn't that much.

AFter a year of legal battles they gave up after i filed for bankruptcy. I have no money, bankruptcy, and am raising my son without any help. This is the most difficult and emotional challenge I have every dealt with.


I never thought I would be on this site hoping the universe would provide. I always told my son that sometimes you just have to let the universe handle things. Well i am humbled and he does not know I am posting this hoping that the universe will here our call for help.

He is now 12 years old and going into the 7th grade. I am holding on by a shoe string with 3 dogs. We had some money to put down for qw down payment on a house which me Sally have been promising our son and each other to get. However the money was used for legal battle, and moving, and life.

Unfortunately, I still have not had the money for any memorial, and her family was distant with her so we don't receive much help except from my Mother and step father. I am 40 years old with a 12 year old boy. My partner, wife, and my sons mother is no longer with us as she passed away at 45. We only can do our best but everyday is a challenge and I haven't seen any relief nor a light at the end of a tunnel. So I am hoping that you can help us. I know you may read many of these, and maybe they all sound the same. But I am putting this out to the universe. Hopefully it hears us.
