Help The Williams Family

On Tuesday September 22, Joel Williams was rushed to the hospital with symptoms that he thought was covid, but turned out to be stage 4 cancer. He was put in ICU and by Monday September 28, he passed away leaving the love of his life, Amy, and their 4 children without a father and provider. Please help assist this loving family with not only funeral expenses, but also please help them to be able to survive in these uncertain times. Here is their love story in the words of Amy:

Once upon a time in all the dimensions and in all the Universes Joel and Amy are soulmates...and fate blessed us with a chance to meet in this life. Joel is a person with so much life in him. He always sees the positive in every situation and the good in others. He was a gifted child raised by his parents who praised him and showered him with unconditional love. He has 3 siblings that he adores wholeheartedly and a large family that supports him. He is an absolute rare genius. He's the type of person that can attracts a flock of people waiting to hear his brilliance. He loves to help others by solving their problems and somehow he is always able to find a win/win solution for everyone. He has met so many incredible people in his life who he loves and cherish and considers family. Joel and I met right after High School. 23 wonderful years later we are blessed with 4 amazing children. Our true calling. No matter our situation, the good times and not so great times we have pulled through together because each and every day our children gifts us with their love and happiness.

Our children are our blessing, our whole Universe. They bless us with an abundance of true and unconditional love and infinite joy and happiness. All sacredness and sweetness, all that was pure, genuine and truthful, seems to rest in them.

Fable is our Super genius 8 year old daughter. She is our special child who has developmental delays, 2 rare epilepsy related genetic disorders and is immunocompromised. She has always been a happy child with big beautiful eyes that can read and reach deep into your soul.

Maven is our awesome 5 year old SUPERSTAR. She is extremely smart and full of life. She is our light that brightens our world and fills our lives with positivity and absolute purity. Our flower child that reminds us to enjoy our every moments together. That life doesn't always have to be as hectic and overwhelming as it seems.

Rex is our Super sweet 4 year old son. He is our Casanova. Full of energy, love and big hugs that melts our hearts. He consumes our world and surrounds all with love.

Omnia is our Super miracle 7 month old baby girl. She has the most adorable smile that lifts our hearts and an angelic personality that mirrors it. Just like Daddy, she's a survivor and fate brought this precious baby into our lives and completed our loving family.

Joel has always thanked God and the Universe for all our abundant blessings...today I Thank God and the Universe for the abundant blessings Joel has given to us. For being Super Daddy who always protects and provides for his family. For being the most kind, affectionate and loving husband I could ever ask for. For his wisdom and for sharing his life with us. For true love. For always putting everyone's needs before his own even til the very moment he was rushed to the hospital. His last words to me were "All I need is you."

It's amazing how life can change in a moments time. We are all completely heartbroken. It seems like a dream I so desperately want to wake up from in hopes that everything will be alright again.

Thank you all for your support and generosity. I hope that one day I will be able to tell Joel how the entire community came together so quickly to lend us a hand and shielded us with unconditional love without blinking an eye. We are forever grateful.
