"There are no plans of her returning to the old home she lost her son in, her oldest born and precious loved child, so I’m taking matters into my own hands in hopes of raising enough money to get her a new home. I’m asking that everyone keep my family in prayer, knowing that this is a very tragic moment and time for us to deal with. Please feel free to donate whatever is placed on your heart to give. I thank you all in advance. May God bless you!"
