Good evening everybody. I’m making this GoFundMe for my adopted mother, who took me in multiple times, took care of me, and treated me like I was her own. She is one of the greatest, most generous, and loving people I have ever met in my life.
Today, March 23 at 6:30 PM, there was a complete tragedy and loss for my second mom. She went outside to get her husband to make sure he was ready to go out for some quality time with the love of his life, his beautiful and amazing wife of 10 years, which they just celebrated their 10-year anniversary together. Veronica has lost her love, her other half, her best friend, her everything.
Kyle was Veronica’s everything. Because of her medical conditions, Kyle was the main breadwinner who had the income and was the main person who worked to support both of them.
Veronica and Kyle, as you can see from the pictures, loved each other with every fiber of their beings and still cannot believe this is real. It feels like a dream, and we are just hoping that he walks through the door, but we know that’s not going to happen.
