As a woman with handicraft skills, she will be auctioning off her handmade blankets. She already prepared a few for the auction. Everything that she made will be directly going to the fund for her husband’s surgery.

Mary has priced the blanket $100 each. So, she is working hard to make the blankets to put up for auction. Mary also had her own Bed & Breakfast which she made by renovating an old house, which was dubbed hunted, and converted into an Amish bed and breakfast.

But, Mary was having her own surgery, Jeremiah Raber lent his hands to run the business. Mary used to make $1000 per episode but since she leaves behind her English life to go back to the community. She left the shows; so no payment from the show too.
