Hello, My name is Beth. Let me tell you a little about my family and our situation.

We are a small family. Very close. Growing up it was just my sister Brandy and Myself. As we grew into adults we both had two children, hers being two boys, Brandon and Jordan. As you know how boys are they grew to be best friends. Like my two children, these boys were very close to their Grandmother, Gloria. So close I think her happiness trumped even their own. A few years ago our family was given the news that My mom Gloria had stage 4 Colon Cancer. The boys were with her through the entire battle. She stayed with my sister and the boys while fighting for her life. Brandy took her to treatments and the boys would take care of her when she was sick.

Last year Brandy started having symptoms that caused her to be airlifted to a medical university. We were devestated with the diagnosed of Terminal Stage 4 Glioblastoma. If you dont know what that is, it is Brain Cancer. One of the worst forms of it, in fact. The cancer was inoperable. Shortly after My sister; who is not only my best friend, but my hero; and I lost our Mom to the cancer. All of our Children had a hard time losing their grandmother, but the boys took it even harder.

After getting over the shock of losing our mother, my sister has been aggresively fighting this cancer with intensive Chemo and Radiation. Throughout her fight she has had the strength and help of her two sons. When Brandy was unable to work her 19 year old son Brandon stepped in to help. Jordan helped around the house, running errands for Brandy when she couldn't get out of bed. Every morning he would come in and hug Brandy, tell her he loved her and get her a peanut butter sandwich.

Last night tradgedy struck our family again. My sisters youngest Son's life was cut short in a fatal car accident. Jordan was only 15 years old. 

I talked to him one day, not  long ago, about how he was fixing up mopeds for his friends for cash. This kid was always on his moped.  He was going to go work for a small engine shop to fix up mopeds. He never got that chance.

And now I am asking you to help my family.

As you may have guessed, due to the nature of my sisters illness and the unexpected tragedy, we are in dire need of financial assistance to bury my nephew. The burden of loosing a child is the hardest burden any mother will ever have to face, let alone having to face it while fighting for your own life.

Your donations and assistance would mean so much to our family. Not only would the outpouring of support for the financial costs be appreciated but the emotional support to our family would be unmeasurable. Any and all donations will go towards the cost of funeral and burial arrangements.

I normally don't ask for help so this has been the hardest request of my life. You will never understand the gratitude I have for each and every dollar raised to help my sister. Even a penny would help.

Jordan is survived by his mother Brandy Perkins, father Shawn Perkins, brothers Brandon Combs, Hashan Perkins, sister Jade Perkins, and aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. We are all doing our best to get the word out. Please continue to share this link. Visitation is Friday 9/29 at 6PM and Funeral is Saturday 9/30 at 2PM at Southern Oaks Funeral Home in Somerset KY
