I am asking for assistance due to the abrupt loss of my mother, Jennifer. She was involved in a fatal motor vehicle accident on Christmas morning.  I am a graduate student who is now responsible for all of the associated funeral costs for my mother, as well as the cost of assuming guardianship responsibilities of my siblings.  Jennifer was a single mother who is survived by three children, myself – 23, Kileigh – 11, and Will – 6. 

There are no savings, no insurance, and no assistance available to help me meet these needs.  The immediate expenses I am faced with include funeral services and legal fees.  Future expenses are vast and unknown.  Thank you for your consideration and generosity.
