Greetings to all. My name is Jenny, widowed in 1989 choosing to remain alone and raise my four children. I am presently 72 years of age, the 4th born to my precious mother Isabel. In July of 2012 my father passed away due to prostate Cancer leaving my mother alone in their home located in Fajardo Puerto Rico. In November I decided to go take care of my mother, leaving behind four adult children and 3 grandchildren. My mother loved her house especially her yard, where she spent hours cleaning and trimming and loving her Mango, Banana, and Avocado trees. Mom and I sang worship songs together all the time with neighbors dropping by to thank and bless us. I took care of my mother best I could to make her last years her most happiest. I combined her monthly $400 SS check and my monthly $700.00 SS check to make repairs, paint, and buy new appliances. I joyfully took care of mom for the following six years being relieved by one of my sisters for 2 months in the Summer to visit my family in Upstate Syracuse NY. I was with mother during horrible hurricane Irma and Maria that tore through and devastated Puerto Rico. The storm roared and howled all night tearing down all the awnings around the house destroying our yard and killing my mother’s trees. It took months for the water to be restored and the electricity for some took years to return. That hurricane had a devastating affect on the elderly, and my mom was amongst them not being able to deal with the results. In 2018 my precious mother passed away leaving me her house. Devastated and in morning I returned to Syracuse and then moved to Clearwater FL, as I had developed a love for the warmth of the Sun. I was planning to return to PR but Covid and a few other problems kept me away forcing me to hire a nieghbor to keep the property from looking abandon. Now I am ready but what can I do with my now $900 a month SS check? I DO NOT WANT TO SELL the house my mother loved so much and that I too learned to love. My mother loved having visitors drop by. Immediately shed set out on our large dinning table fruits, drinks, cheese and crackers and sweets. In memory of my precious mother Isabel, I wish to make it beautiful again, to start an AIRBNB modernize it, put up solor panels and turn it into a welcoming place for visitors to Fajardo Puerto Rico to come feast at her table and bask in her back yard. Considering my age, please help me accomplish this dream so that after I pass my grandchildren can carry on in our memory.
WITH ALL MY LOVE ISABEL & JENNY
