Rashel Farmer hasn't added a story.
As many of you know my family’s story already, you know that we have
had quite the year of heartache with the loss of my sweet son Greyson
at only 5 weeks old due to SMA and the loss of my Grandfather who my
brother was closer to than I, and then my Brother and his children
lost the love of their lives, his fiancé Tachnee.
My brother is a Tattoo artist who has had his world shattered
and when your world falls apart it is hard to get up and do the things
you once loved. For me, I couldn’t imagine going back to work after my
son passed away, it has been 10 months and I still couldn’t imagine
doing anything other than raising my step daughters and trying my best
at running a household.
My Brother counted on his passion to pay the bills and right now
he just can not! He has never asked for help and he would give the
shirt off of his back to help even a stranger in need.
Joshua Farmer is one of the most incredible loving people I have
ever known. He and I live a state away from each other and when he
found out my son Greyson was sick he drove straight up to Oregon from
California just to meet him. My son passed away a few days later. My
brother asked me if there was anything I needed and I said, “You, I
need my brother.” He and Tachnee and their dog lou were up here so
fast I couldn’t believe it! He was here for Greysons memorial and not
only in support for us all but he was the one to lead the whole
memorial and I could never repay him for his strengths.
My brother, Tachnee, children and myself all went on a vacation
of a lifetime this past June. I am so grateful they invited me and I
got to have that experience with Tachnee as she passed away on August
20th 2014.
Joshua was hiking on Mt. Whitney at the time and I had to get an
emergency note to him to call me. He found the note left in a place
the rangers knew he should see (when given his itinerary) and he hiked
miles to a station to call… worst phone call of both of our lives! To
hear the pain and shock in my brothers voice I could see how dark his
world just got!
My mother and I were already on our way down to California to
get to him as he called. We wanted to get to him as fast as we could
after we heard the news!
I wish everyday that I could be there for him more than I can
be. We live 800 miles from each other and I just wish there was more
that I could do for him!
A fellow tattoo artist that didn’t even know my brother heard
his story and got the community together for this upcoming weekend in
honor of Tachnee and to help support their fellow community member and
his children! They are putting a Fund Raising Event in Honor of
Tachnee. I am so speechless to how that makes me feel, to know that
there is such good left in man kind makes me want to be even that much
better of a person!
Friends have heard my expression on wishing to be there but
financially it is just not feasible so I have already had an
outpouring of support in helping me get down to my Brother and his
children in time for this weekend. I thought that if I started this
fundrazr then any contributions over flight fare would go to the main
cause. Being a supporter to my brother is priceless and I wish there
was more that I could do, and who knows maybe this story will reach
enough people so inclined to help that I can be there to not only
support him but to also help him financially and in some way repay him
for being the best brother on earth!
I am already beyond grateful for everything so many has done for
our family whether it be meals, talks, support, a shoulder to cry on,
your prayers, positive thoughts, sweet little mementos to so much more!
Bless you all for all the support.
