We, Rose’s close friends, are appealing to you today on her behalf.  This amazing woman and her five children face a personal emergency—and they need our generous help urgently.

Rose Robbins is one of the most remarkable and inspiring women we have ever met. In her lifetime, this lovely and accomplished lady has faced and overcome challenges and adversities that would have crushed the souls of any lesser woman. (More about that in a moment.)

But now, through no fault of hers, Rose and her children find themselves in an extremely serious health and financial crisis that requires our immediate assistance.

THE CRISIS

This summer, Rose was stunned by a marital breakup that she never saw coming. The breakup has left this unemployed mother with mounting bills and debts—and five mouths to feed.

Rose now finds herself thousands of dollars behind in her rent, phone, and electric bills.

But that is not the worst of it.

Last week, Rose’s doctor gave her terrifying news. Tests show that she has not one, but two serious health issues that require immediate medical attention.

As if that weren’t enough: Shortly after she got this heart-stopping news, her insurance company notified her that they plan to cancel her medical coverage at the end of September, unless she catches up with her payments—which she has no way to do.

Rose Robbins is not a moocher. Since her husband left, she has been desperately seeking a job in her small community—but so far without success. She has been even trying to sell off some of her most treasured items, just to put food on the table—but again, she is getting little responses to her ads.

Of course, many people are in tragic situations and deserve your consideration. That’s why you need to know exactly what makes Rose Robbins and her sons and daughters so special—why they especially merit your generosity.

A WOMAN OF COURAGE

Rose Robbins’s life story is almost unbelievable. Raised on a rural religious commune, she grew up enjoying few of the modern advantages that most of us take for granted. But she was a brilliant little girl with a restless mind. She read voraciously. She taught herself how to play guitar and piano beautifully. She began to write songs, poems, and stories.

While still a teenager, Rose was married and bore five children. You can see why she adores them:


Rose invested enormous time and effort to homeschool all five kids. Meanwhile, in her spare time, she wrote, recorded, and performed her music to a growing local and online following. But during this time, Rose and the children wound up in a homeless shelter for abused women. They spent weeks there while Rose went job-hunting. Once hired, she moved them all into a tiny apartment. With donated clothes and thrift-shop furniture, she began to create a new, safer future for them all.

Over time, the brilliant children that she had so diligently nurtured and homeschooled entered and excelled in the local school system. And eventually, Rose met another man who was loving, kind, caring, decent. They married, and her children had a new father. Rose enthusiastically supported her new husband as he struggled with various business projects. For several years, she was deliriously happy . . .

Now—suddenly, traumatically—that husband is gone. She and the children have been blindsided by something they never expected, and weren’t prepared for.

Now—once again—they face the prospect of homeless shelters and poverty.

Now—even worse than before—Rose may not be able to afford the medical care that she must receive, right away.

This wonderful family didn’t deserve any of this.

But with our help, their crisis will be only temporary.


Through talent, grit, and an iron will, Rose Robbins overcame a past of hardship, cruelty, and abuse to become a dazzling singer, songwriter, and novelist. With a new musical producer and an album to be released next spring, her musical career is poised to soar.

She also raised and single-handedly taught five amazing children, helping them rank among the top students in their state. Her oldest son—a statewide high school debate champion—has just entered college on a full scholarship. The others also are universally admired and respected by their teachers and peers.

None of them want to live on charity. But they do need our helping hand now, and temporarily—just to get past this emergency, until they can get back on their feet.

When we, Rose's friends, asked her to let us do this appeal, she resisted. Strong, proud, and independent, she felt embarrassed to ask for help. You probably would feel the same way, wouldn’t you?

We literally had to beg her to let us do this. She finally relented…but only because things have gotten so desperate.

A WOMAN OF COMPASSION

There is one more thing you need to know about Rose: her own compassion.

Rose generously has helped women’s shelters and counseled victims of domestic violence and abuse. In fact, during the past year she wrote and published a series of five inspiring novels about women in such circumstances. Her “Carlin Series,” available on Amazon.com, is giving countless women the encouragement and information they need to leave abusive relationships.

Rose Robbins gives so much to others—to family, children, friends, even strangers.

So please take a moment to give to her, at a time when she needs it so desperately.

If you knew Rose as we do, you would love her as we do—and you wouldn’t hesitate an instant to provide her the assistance she needs.

Your immediate, generous donation—at whatever level you can afford—will spare a deserving family from an undeserved fate.

We know that we can count on you to help prevent a family’s temporary emergency from becoming an enduring family tragedy. And we’re grateful.

Thank you so much for your consideration and support.


Sincerely,

The Friends of Rose Robbins
