I Ate Alone on My Birthday. Then I Found Out Why.

#WomenOver60 #EstatePlanning #BlackWomen I have been sitting in front of this camera for ten minutes trying to figure out how to start this. My name is Lily. I am seventy years old. I live in South Carolina. And on my birthday I cooked a full meal, set the table with the good china, put on a new dress, and waited for my son to come. He never came. No call. No text. Not even a happy birthday mama. What I found out the following week at my bank was worse than sitting alone at that table. Someone I trusted had been quietly taking from me for almost a year and I had no idea it was happening. If you are an older woman and someone in your life has access to your bank account please watch this all the way through. It might be the most important video you see this week. And if this story sounds familiar please share it because there are women out there who need to hear that they are not alone.
