Please help spikeslovebite
Posting about this is extremely hard for me to do and I have been avoiding it. Not because I don’t want to help, but because grief has filled every moment of every day. spikeslovebite is my best friend. Has been for more years than I can remember and most of you know we met because of our mutual love of Btvs and our search for more on the internet. The only reason I ever wrote one word of fanfiction was because of Tam, spikeslovebite, and the confidence she gave me.
To know her is to love her.
About a year and a half after meeting her via tagboards and becoming extremely fast internet chatting/phone friends I met her and her two sons in person. My family and I drove the twelve hours to visit one summer and found an extension of family I never knew I had. Tam, Chuck (her father), Kyle (her oldest), and Kain became so much more to me than distant friends. In fact not a holiday, birthday, or any special occasion went by that we weren’t mailing huge packages and typing our fingers off every night in yahoo chat. Every year we saved money to go visit our extended family.
I watched as Kyle grew into a wonderful young man and I still feel Kain’s kisses. I remember that so vividly. The child she was told when he was born could not survive did and although he couldn’t walk, couldn’t talk and didn’t have control over his own body learned to give kisses. He was an angel. A gift from God.
Years ago Tam and I started discussing their move here and it finally happened just this past September. We rented a moving truck and drove that 12 hours, loaded her and Kainers up and moved them here. It was one of the happiest times for me.
Tam gave her life to Kain. She had to quit work because he had to have 24hr a day care. Never once did she complain. She rejoiced in her children. They made her life full and happy even though they had nothing money wise, living off a very meager amount with her being the only parent and unable to work.
The evening of December 30th, 2012 Kain passed away. Our angel, Tam’s angel is gone. To make it even harder on her, she has no money, no way to pay funeral debt. Please help. I have given everything I have, but it’s not near enough and the wonderful people of our fandom, friends who love her as much, have come up with an auction/donation site to try and raise anything they can to help. Even if you don’t have much the paypal donation will allow as little as one dollar.
Anything is more appreciated than I can express. Her grief of losing her son is devastating, but having the funeral expense added in has only exacerbated that grief.
