He Lost Everything He Ever Worked For In The Pandemic And Then He Lost His Sick Wife: Now He’s Living In A Tent In The Middle Of The Freezing Woods With His Cats
Bella Vista, Arkansas. Bob is a man living in Arkansas who tragically lost everything along with his wife Donna in the pandemic.
When the pandemic hit, Bob’s job in construction was in jeopardy as work had stopped. His wife Donna had also been unable to work after being diagnosed with a painful condition called Cervical Dystonia.
Donna’s Cervical Dystonia causes the muscles in her neck to contract, and twists her head to the side.
After Donna lost her job and Bob didn’t have any work coming in, they began receiving eviction notices from their landlord.
Although Bob pleaded with his landlord to give him more time to come up with rent money, his landlord evicted him while Donna was in the hospital getting sicker by the day.
Bob found out after he came home from spending time with Donna in the hospital one day to find that he was completely locked out of his place, and everything that he and Donna owned was still inside their home.
“With his wife still sick in the hospital and their car broken down bob had no way to haul their stuff out of the trailer and no where to take it,” Bob’s dear family friend Camry Green wrote on a GoFundMe.
“Shortly after being locked out of the trailer and trying to get the landlords to wait on demolishing till they could get a way to haul off their stuff the landlords while bob was gone visiting his wife in the hospital proceeded to tear down their trailer and destroyed everything they had.”

“Leaving bob and his sick wife homeless with their 4 cats and only a few clothing items left. Sadly after pitching a tent in the woods in the middle of winter where their trailer used to be someone had stolen all of Bob’s tools while he was gone again visiting his wife.”
Bob’s tools were his only way to make a living, so he was devastated to lose them. Donna was discharged from the hospital, so she returned to the tent in the middle of the woods that they were living in with their cats.
Since it was so cold in their tent, Donna got sick again and wound up back in the hospital.
“Sadly two days before thanksgiving Bob gets a call that his wife the love of his life of 15 years had passed away leaving him completely broken,” Camry said.
“Bob is now homeless with no car living out of a tent in freezing temperatures with his four cats and it’s heartbreaking after everything he has been through.”
“He won’t go stay in a shelter because he won’t leave his 4 cats he loves since they are all he has left of his wife and are his only family.”
Camry is hoping that by sharing Bob’s story she can help raise enough money to get him and his cats a safe space to live in.
