GoFundMe for widow with 9 children
« on: May 22, 2022, 01:02:04 AM »
This was brought to my attention by a CathInfo member. I assume this family was Trad Catholic, based on many of the names who have donated thus far. I recognize many of them because I know them personally (from my Seminary days, etc.) Also a lot of St. Mary's, KS names.

And they have 9 kids.

"He is survived by his wife Elizabeth and children Josie 22, Mathew 14, Bernadette 13, Richard 12, Margaret 11, Dominic 9, Gerald 7, Patrick 5, John 2."

The husband "fell from the back of his pickup truck and landed on the back of his head causing a mortal injury. Fortunately, we had a priest near by to administer Last Rites before he passed, within minutes actually."

I'm not familiar with him. Of course, I limit my "Trad fora" travels to CathInfo. Keeps me plenty busy.

Disregard; I was thinking of Michael Wilson, not Joseph Wilson.

And why didn’t this guy carry life insurance?  I have about $2 million ....” to the point that I have to watch my back :laugh1:

That’s not to say I won’t donate.  I do wish they hadn’t used GoFundMe, which steals a good share of the proceeds ... for simply having a website.
