Michèle Portelance hasn't added a story.

Despite the circumstances that prompt me to reach out to all of you.

I find myself in a position I never imagined I would be in – three weeks ago a dear friend health took a turn for the worse, and he was given six months to live. He is battling a terminal illness that has turned his life upside down at a young age of 54 yrs. He was told he no can longer work if he wants to see the next few months. Every passing day brings more pain, uncertainty, and fear. But amidst the darkness, there is a flicker of hope, a belief that the kindness of strangers like yourself can make a difference.

I am writing to humbly request your support during this incredibly difficult time, not for myself, but for my beloved friend, Mark, and his wife Sherry, who stands by his side with unwavering love and support. A few years ago, Mark and his wife Sherry, were granted full custody of their grandchild. While this decision was made of love and a desire to provide a stable and nurturing home for her, they did not foresee the devastating news. The decision was not one they took lightly. They understood that it would come with its own set of challenges, both emotionally and financially. However, the reality of his health is now taking an additional hit on their finances and since Mark found out he has a time limit, he’s biggest concern is the financial lost he is taking and major concern for what the future will hold for his wife and granddaughter. It has been even more overwhelming than they anticipated. The burden of medical expenses, treatments, funeral planning and other related costs has become consuming. Despite their sacrifices and tireless efforts, they find themselves struggling to make ends meet and the financial strain only adds to the emotional weight of the illness. Financial hardship can take a toll on an individual's mental and emotional well-being.

Your donation, whether large or small, would not only ease the financial burden but also bring immense relief and peace of mind. It would allow them to focus on what truly matters in these precious moments - cherishing the time they have left together, making memories that will last a lifetime.

Your assistance could provide them immediate financial relief to Mark's wife and grandchild, helping them meet their basic needs such as shelter, food, and monthly bills. This can alleviate the stress and anxiety associated with financial instability, allowing them to focus on rebuilding their lives. It will also help Mark's grandchild to have access to educational opportunities that they might otherwise miss out on due to financial constraints.

I understand that times are tough for everyone and would never ask for help if I didn't truly believe it was necessary. But if you find it in your heart to support them on this journey, we will all be forever grateful. Your kindness would not only alleviate the financial stress but also serve as a source of strength and comfort during this challenging time. Your generosity would mean more to them than words can express. It would not only provide practical assistance but also serve as a reminder that they are not alone in this fight. We are part of a community bound by empathy, kindness, and love.

Please know that your support extends far beyond financial assistance - it is a lifeline, a beacon of hope in the midst of darkness. Your generosity will not be forgotten, and your kindness will always be carried out.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and consider my request. May you be blessed abundantly for your compassion and generosity.

 

With heartfelt gratitude,
