Helping My Mom After Losing My Bonus Dad

Williamsburg, VA

Story

My stepdad came into our lives 17 years ago and made a big impact on all of us. Brian Schrage was not everyone’s cup of tea but had a heart bigger than anyone I ever met. He accepted me as his own daughter from day one. He was there for me at times when he didn’t have to be for support, encouragement, guidance and a shoulder to lean on when times were tough. He was a dad to me in ways my own father should have been and the best grandpa to my kids. Two and a half years ago he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon and liver cancer. He fought with everything he had and stayed positive through all the chemo treatments here in Georgia and then moved to Virginia where his son lives to undergo radiation treatments until he lost the battle this past June 2024. My mom, Alma Jones, has been left with financial burdens immediately on top of mourning the loss of the man she believed was her soulmate. She is on a disability income as well as Brian was but with them not being legally married, there are no benefits or way that she can get help after his passing. She has never been someone to ask for help and did everything she had to when we were kids to make ends meet on her own. She is struggling with bills and is on the verge of losing her car. Her home is here in Georgia where 3 of her daughters are living, but she has not being able to move back here due to financial difficulties. If anyone is able and willing to help it would very much appreciated! Thank you in advance and god bless!
