Widowhood is so difficult for so many of us. But when we look closely, most of us have a roof over our heads, have food to put on the table and don't have to worry about where our children may be sleeping in a week or two. Grief is hard enough without having to worry that our kids may not have enough to eat next week.
There is a fellow traveler on this journey of grief who is having a very difficult time right now financially. She hasn't asked for support, just positive thoughts, but she needs some extra help. We are respecting her privacy by not revealing personal details but she needs to be embraced by this wonderful community of the widowed. A few of us widdas got together (on line) to brainstorm what we can do, The result is this guest post from Jackie, on Cadi's blog http://maehegirl.blogspot.com . You can also check out Chelsea's blog, Jackie's own blog and Megan's blog.
There is a Paypal link on Cadi's blog, and if there is any way that you can donate any amount, it would be greatly appreciated.
Life is not easy for many of us. But many of us have a little extra that we can share to help others who are in much more difficult circumstances. I hope that many of you stop by Cadi's blog and help as much as you can.
If anyone knows a kind and generous lawyer in New Zealand, can you please be in touch with me, or Cadi.
Thank you in advance for your kindness.

Hi Debbie - I don't know cadi's legal needs, so I can't email these folks with questions, but here's what I found: http://www.communitylaw.org.nz/

If they can't help, they may be able to direct you to someone who can, perhaps in infant and women's health?
I found them by googling "international legal aid," on a whim. Who knew?!
this too, if she qualifies for their "categories served"

Thanks Megan! I never thought that there would be an international legal aid! I appreciate your help!
hey Deb, I have a kiwi schoolfriend who is a lawyer in Sydney, but she may have contacts in NZ ... will let you know xxx
Thanks Boo. That would be much appreciated!
Thanks so much, Deb. I appreciate the ability to not only meet someone .... and to encourage her in any way I can, but to also help out in other ways.
I'm thankful that you let us know about Cadi .... and how we can help.
Thanks again,
Janine

i have no money to give, no power at all, but i will keep Cadi in my prayers. all of you, are in my prayers. peace.
I was there and am still more than struggling. What saddens me is as widows we have to face all this. Please let her know she is not alone and is loved. I'm sorry I don't have more to give, but I give what I can. Cyberhug to her, glad paypal exists across countries. And you all are awesome for helping her. I stood alone. I swore I would not let anyone else do this but by choice of their own if i could help it. Thanks for letting me help as much as I can.
