Monty Posted July 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2014 I don't usually do this, but she is in dire need. My Cousin Laura is a disabled single mom living in Florida. She is a substitute teacher who is out of work for the summer. Her husband had mental issues that he didn't keep under control, and wasn't safe to be around anymore, so they divorced a while back, leaving her to take care of everything herself. She lives partly on disability, as she lost a leg to cancer at a really young age. For some reason, her disability was reduced, making it harder for her to get by. When school starts back up, she will be ok. For now, she is really hurting, trying to make ends meet. She has a heart of gold, and would do anything she could to help someone out. She is just in a rough patch right now. I just brought this here, because I know how many big-hearted people are in this group. If you can spare a nickel, please help her out. If not, that's fine too.

Freebird Posted July 16, 2014 Share #9 Posted July 16, 2014 I feel that I need to say something here. I usually would not allow this type of post as I feel that our members have been very generous in helping each other when it was needed. I don't want to make it a habit of folks trying to raise money for friends, family, etc. We have some kind hearted people here but we can only do so much. That being said, I know Monty very well and I know that he would not have done this if it wasn't absolutely weighing on him to do so. He is one of the good guys and I respect him much. I kind of wish that he had contacted me and ran it by me first but I understand that it was an emotional plea and none of that crossed his mind. So, I will just say a prayer for this lady and send my own contribution. I hope it helps and that she is back on her feet soon. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is alot closer to her goal, thanks to the VR members. You have helped to make a distraught woman very happy. She has a positive outlook about making it through the summer now. Thanks again.
