I am the mother of my daughter Michelle and a grandmother of my grandson Little Dale.

This happened suddenly. My daughter's best friend and father of my grandson passed away at the age of 47 from a massive heart attack while at work. They are left with financial stress, let alone grief. My grandson is 12 years old and in school. This is going to be very difficult as they will need help for a long time. Big changes, both physically and mentally, have left them with financial issues.

Because of my own financial issues, I'm not able to assist in that part because of my health. I just want to make sure that my grandson continues to have what he needs for school, a roof over their head, utilities, and a car to be maintained for safety so my daughter is able to transport my grandson to school, etc. This has been very heartbreaking for both of them and the family.

My daughter has seizures and I don't want this to trigger them even more.

My daughter's name is Michelle and my grandson's name is Dale. His father's name is / was Jarrod.!

Also, there will be memorial celebration costs etc . to respect Jarrod's life and the gift that he gave. We want to have a respectful gathering so that people can enjoy the memories of Jarrod, but also comfort the family, my daughter, grandson, and my daughter's other daughter, Little Dale's sister, and to ease up costs for the family.

So if you're able to help in even a small amount, it adds up and I'd be very grateful for the help for the family!
