What would we do without friends?

They are there for us during the best of times and maybe more importantly, during the worst; this was the case for a woman named Heather.

You see, Heather, a mother of 8, was married to a man named Joe for 20 years when she found out that he had been allegedly cheating on her AND got the other woman pregnant!

This of course left Heather distraught (she’s since moved on with her life and is doing well).

But her friends Brooke and Vanessa were NOT okay with how their friend Heather had been treated. The woman also found out that Joe had apparently given Heather’s expensive Burberry scarf to this other woman, which caused them to spring into action to support their friend.

So, they decided to set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for a new Burberry scarf that they would later surprise Heather with.

Here’s just a sample of what they wrote on the page:

“We are Brooke and Vanessa. We are friends of Heather (the wife). We are pissed off about how our friend Heather has been screwed over by her WASband, Joe. Joe and Heather had been together for about 20 years and have 8 kids together, too many dogs to count and a few other random pets (a pig, fish, some cats – it’s like a domesticated zoo. )

Heather spent those years at home raising her wild, wonderful herd of offspring while Joe was out sowing his wild oats with a neighborhood tart.  His departure from the family home was less than graceful as it was accompanied by the discovery of said tart being pregnant.”

They added, “Here’s the thing. Heather was the quintessential stay at home mom, complete with all the necessary sacrifices that go along with that. Raising 8 kids is expensive and Heather’s a pretty low-key chick who doesn’t fuss over all that fancy s**t that some women do. Except for her one treasured designer item – a Burberry scarf. She shared that scarf with her daughters freely. They wore it because they took good care of it. Then it disappeared. Turns out Joe – the WASband- gave it to his mistress.” 

Their goal was to raise $500, as of today they’ve received nearly $3,000 in donations!

Upon hearing about the GoFundMe page, Heather was overwhelmed with the support but said she would not accept the money.

She said, “I humbly request that all funds raised be donated to The Diamond Blackfan Anemia foundation. A cause so very near and dear to my heart… I do not want nor need a new scarf. It’s a thing. And things… meh… not the important stuff.”

She added, “This is not about a scarf. It’s about having b***s who have got your back. And damn… have I got them!”

Heather is actually preparing to undergo colon surgery soon. Prayers to her and cheers to some great friends in Brooke and Vanessa!
