"Hello, My name is Netta . It is with a very heavy heart that I even have to write this or ask for help. It is hard for me to ask for help, I try with all my heart to take care of things on my own. 3 years ago my son passed away, things have been hard since that time. On May 5th I got a call that another one of my sons was found deceased in his car. You can't imagine the pain of hearing those words after dealing with the pain 3 grueling years since the death of my 1st son. On the same day, I was given some more devasting news that my mother was rushed to the hospital with a collapsed lung only to find out that the lung has cancer.

I am reaching out to ask for financial help to cover the cost of funeral expenses for my son and to help with the expense of commuting back and forth to Chicago to care for my mother and spend time with her. I am grateful for any amount you can help with and would not ask for help if I had any other options.
