Husband loses battle with cancer

I'm starting a fund raiser for my mother Susan Marcks. Just recently her husband, my father, Robert Marcks passed away after a long 6 year battle with cancer at the age of 61. She was with my father for 40 years and happily married for 32 of those years. Due to medical and funeral costs my mother is having financial problems so she had to go right back to work. To make things worse, this all happened right at the holiday season, so buying christmas presents for her nieces, nephews and grandchildren was just not possible. I'm hoping to raise enough money for my mother to take sometime off of work to grieve and help her get back on her feet. Remember every little bit helps
