A Mother's Day Wish for my Grandma...... Growing up as hard in a family were my parents divorced early in my life. My entire childhood was unstable with my mother suffering from depression and drug use and my father following dreams that never worked out. My brother, dad, and myself were without a home on a few occasions and I went to nine different schools by the time I was in ninth grade. My grandma was a single mom of four and was able to buy a house when her kids were in high school and many times we had to live with her. A good portion of my childhood my brother and I lived with her and three of my cousins because both of our fathers were struggling single parents. Even after I became an adult I made many mistakes and became pregnant and homeless she still took me in and helped me learn to be a good mother. She has always sacarficed her needs and wants for her four kids, thirteen grankids, and now five great grandkids. She doesn't have much but she always found a way to make ends meet when someone was in need. Everyone has grown up and moved out on their own so for the first time in about thirty years my grandma has an empty house with all the wear and tear. The dog she had for about thirteen years recently past away. She is retired with many health problems and very low income. Her house is in need of some TLC and her fence is falling apart fast! Recently when I went to visit her I found a large dog in her back yard that got in through her fence and is barely stands and it really concerned me especially cause she watches my five year boy (who has no fear of any dog) when I am working. Basically I want so much to get her a new fence for all she has done. I worry so much about that fence. If I could buy her a new fence she could get a new dog as her companion and for protection. I worry about her and my son even going in the backyard since seeing that dog back there and that wasn't the only time. So please if you could understand how much this means to me. I love my grandma, she is the glue that holds our family together and I don't know what any of us would do without her. I really feel that this fence will help ensure that she will be here a longer so please for her, for my son, for my family please help me.
