Im asking well begging for some help in making a well diserved man happy before his time comes. My Father is such a great, thoughtful, caring, loving and giving man.
When he become of retirement age a time his wife and he had looked forward to after many years of hard work as a civil servant, and a vetern of the U.S. Navy And Air Force. He was asked to take in 2 of his grandchildren ages 5 and 9 years old. The mother had run into problems which was out of her control. So of course he put retirement on hold to raise his grandchildren. Ken kept working finding a job as a deputy to make ends meet because kentucky has limited resources for grand parents raisng grand children. So approx. 5 years later he once again considered retirement nearing his age for social security, but again he recieves a call about his other 3 grand children of his other daughter. He was asked to take in a set of twins and another 5 year old. Of course he said yes to keep them out of the foster care system. He was 69 then now really unable to stop working worked to keep 5 children dressed fed and schooled for nearly 10 more years. He raised them in church, pushed them all 5 towards a college degree. Raised them as his own.He finally had to quit working around 79 years of age the 2 twins completed college the oldest girl some college and now her own family, grand son working hard running an entire apartment complex have 170 units and is maintenance at 21years old. The youngest girl just married and delivered Kenneths 3rd Great grand baby between 2 of the girls.
This man has never had a life of his own, but never has he complained one time. But now without being able to work ends a hard to meet and his and his wifes Social Security barely streaches enought to make ends meet. So all the dreams they once had is no more. The children all raised out on their own but financially leaves any drems impossible due to his financial situation.
He worked hard since his teenage years not to stop till 79 or 8o years old he was a police officer, deputy, overnite driver, factory worker, a baptist pastor for many years and went back to being a deputy because of the 5 children.
He is a fine christian man that diserved so much more then all the struggles hes been through.
I am begging for any help at all to put a smile on his worrying face catch up a few bills and help him maybe go on a trip that he has longed for for many years to go, maybe to go where his Name originates which is Ireland. He has for many years wanted to connect with old n newly discovered family and to reconnect with his heritage. He is so diserving of this and i financially am unable to help due to my husbands rescent passing. Anything is appreciated anything will help. In advance i wanba say thank you because you are truely blessing a beautiful person thats just been dealt a hard hand but he says it was what God had planned. Please help me to see him happy before he leaves this earth. As we all know there is no promise of tomorrow, so i am truley begging at this point. God bless Jenny Lynn.
