Jenny is a homeschooling mother of 5 children. Almost a month ago she called 911 because her husband had become
disoriented and incoherent. He was immediately taken to ICU with a brain
infection and fell into a coma-like state. Over the 10 days that
followed, there was continuous prayer for his healing, with family and friends by his side. It was a bit of a
roller coaster ride as the doctors would become hopeful that they had a
diagnosis or treatment and then things would worsen once again. Two
weeks ago, he passed away, leaving behind his wife and five
children between the ages of 9 months and 11 years old.
Jenny's husband was a bit better prepared than my friend, Grace's husband was. There was some life insurance. But a 2 week ICU stay is expensive and the finances are a huge burden for Jenny.
Here's the part where you can do more than shrug and move on.

“Today is a day you can make a difference” – I believe every day is a chance to do something worthwhile and be a blessing to others, even in small way. It is never easy to cope with a loss, especially a loved one’s death, but through the moral support of the people around, it lessens the pain. Jenny should be strong for her and for her kids’ sake.

Thanks for sharing a way to help. It's hard not to imagine yourself in her shoes when you're a mom with little kids too, but nice to have a way to contribute even if you can't be there to provide moral support. I hope she considers each donation a big hug from a friend she never met!
