If you would like to help us out there is a GofundMe & Cashapp $prath1968 & Paypal. JPrather968 https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-prather-family-living-expenses

A friend made a gofundme for us to help us out because we had no income since the social security was sent back due to Shawn's passing until they had a new payee. I took care of that the day after his passing but they had a mix-up and so we had no income. Imagine losing your husband and your income from Dors stopped and having 2 children to take care of and no money no food stamps nothing. I thought maybe some help through the GoFundMe would help and someone reported it as a fraud. Well my husband died and everything said was true. So they opened it back up but no one else donated. If it was a fraud I want to know where my husband is I have his ashes so it is not a fraud. I have a We have gone without a check and got one that was owed for September But still have not gotten August. I had to get a lawyer to get things squared away and taking care of everything has taken gas is costly too . I have never been in this position before . My Mom has helped me some . We love you all who have continued to follow our journey.

Shawn and I and the boys lived off Soc Security because before Shawn got the Esophageal Cancer he had peripheral artery disease
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is plaque buildup in your leg arteries. Your leg arteries carry oxygen and nutrient-rich blood from your heart to your arms and legs. Other names for this are peripheral vascular disease or peripheral arterial disease. We were always worried he would lose his legs and I told him not to worry I loved him and would take care of him. Shawn was the payee for the boys and I worked for the local garbage company and we did printing out of our home. When Shawn got sick I could no longer work out of the home. I contacted a government thing where you can get paid a bit for taking care of someone sick or disabled. I got paid 17.20 an hour for 2 hours a day and that helped a bit it was something I would have done without anything. He was my husband and that was my job to take care of him. When Shawn passed because he was a payee for the boys they stopped our money and we had reported that he passed and tried to make sure we were going to be okay. Well, we did not get a check for the month of August and No check for September until about a week ago we got Septembers. We always lived check to check so anything extra that came in that I could make was great. We are still waiting for August and don't know when that will come. A friend made a GoFundMe to help us. Someone had to be mean and turned in that the page was a fraud so it was checked out and opened up to have donations again. I have 130.00 donations that I have not gotten yet so we are hoping soon we get an August check. We will get October. No, we did not have food stamps to help I filed so we are supposed to get some not much. I have no family here where I live and so yes it makes it hard. Thank You All For Following Our Journey. We Love You .

I have not posted on here for a while. We are grieving and our hearts are hurting. Shawn was just gone in a flash he died in our arms. We had to do CPR for 45 minutes till the paramedics got here. Our hearts are a mess. We MISS HIM SO MUCH.
Shawn seemed ok except for the sickness from the chemo pills and it was awful he was so sick.
