I said NO- 2026 was NOT going to be a repeat of 2025....but then......it hasn't started off well at all
Yesterday my sister's home burned to the ground.
She was on her way to her oncologist appointment when she got the call that her house was on fire, so she turned around and rushed home to find the entire property fully engulfed with all the departments on site....Fire, Police- Medics..... the whole shebang.
She lost everything- all five buildings, her two fur babies (Bit-Bit and Pita), her clothes, her meds, sentimental items-everything!!! She wasnt able to afford insurance on her place with the majority of her pay going to Doctor visits and meds.
At least her two eldest kids(adults) weren't staying with her when it happened. I don't think she could have taken losing her kids with everything else piled on top of what's going on in her life.
This is the same sister who has Stage 4 Kidney cancer and a couple months ago was hit head-on by an idiot driver who wasnt paying attention and swerved into HER lane as she was driving to a patients home.....Tee is a Hospice CNA.
This woman just can't catch a break in life- well, she can- but it usually comes with a cast attached to them.
I just don't know how much more she can take before she gives up- I probably would have given up a couple of years ago had it been me- but not Tee- she just keeps hanging on to her faith and goes about her business regardless.. She is one of the strongest women I have ever known.
I just wanted to ask y'all pray for her- we all are because we don't know what else to do right now other than offer her a place to stay until she gets back on her feet and decides what direction she wants to go in or what is and what isn't possible or achievable for her at this point in her life.
If I've said it once I've said it a hundred times- a Family Compound of Tiny Houses is looking more and more logical and sensible at this point.
Seriously y'all, thank you for all your prayers. They are so appreciated. xx

Soooo many random thoughts about this. Most of them not helpful, but I'm gonna share them anyway...
First and foremost, hugs to you and your sis.
I'm a Christian agnostic, so I tossed up a quick prayer, but in the back of my mind, I wonder if anyone hears it.
Holy $h!+... cancer + car accident + house burned down is some serious bad luck.
There's an opportunity for sis to make some serious cash as a country music singer/songwriter. Any one of these things is a song. All together, they're an epic hit in the making.
GoFundMe. It won't likely alleviate all of the financial stress, but it certainly wouldn't hurt. If you go this route, I recommend that you do it and don't tell her. This way if nothing happens from it, she's not let down once again.
Ty Evan..one of her granddaughters has set up a GoFundMe for her. And I agree about the country song...there's a half dozen more things she could add in it too....And true to form she has rounded up some friends and family and are doing a clear out this weekend while staying in her vacation camper brought up from the lake by another sisters friend, even tho she's had a half dozen offers of a place to stay til she can get things straightened out. Forget dipping a toe, she jumped in the deep end head first. Faith & Prayers.
Also, she's included her cash app info so it goes straight to Sissy instead of the Gfm... I think that's the safer choice myself.
