Our mission is to alleviate additional stress and suffering of widows by providing materials and labor to restore homes in need of safety and critical home repairs as they grieve the loss of their spouse.
Our vision is to see hope restored and disparity lifted by bringing widows' homes to a comfortable and safe state, free of repairs and deterioration. We want God's love and compassion to show through our service.
Every donation is used to help a widow in need for home repairs!
Our current goal is to raise $5,000 each month to cover costs of materials, supplies and labor for helping widows repair their homes.
Your financial gift is tax-deductible.
The Widow's Helper is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Ministry.
Make a one-time or monthly donation in any amount.
We are looking for contractors and hardware stores to partner with us who can donate free or discounted building materials and supplies needed for widow's home repairs.
If you have discontinued items, excess inventory or overstock items, we strive to provide only new building materials to help our widows whenever possible.
We are also searching for new or "scratch & dent" appliances. If you have new overstock or excess inventory.
I lost my husband of 17 years 4 days before Christmas, 2021. His doctor alerted us of some medical issues, but we had no idea what was to come. He lost his struggle with heart failure and my world changed. I never thought I would lose him as he was just 56 years old. I became a widow at 47. I was blessed to have a very supportive family and true friends. We had also bought a brand new house just a few years before. A month later my friend lost her husband unexpectedly. They worked side by side and lived in a modest home in need of repairs. I saw first hand just how stressful and despairing it is for women who may not have the physical ability, money, or know-how to repair their homes. And so I decided to create this organization to help others. I am determined that something good will come from the loss of my husband. He always had a “soft spot” for the elderly and those in need. Hopefully Greg will be smiling from heaven at the good that may come of this organization and all those who help.
