Celeste, Kelley, Em emergency fund

My dear friend Celeste, a mom, horse-lover, and one of the kindest, most giving people I know, recently lost her husband and the father of her two young girls, Kelley and Emily in a horrible and tragic situation.
John was the provider and while money was tight, they always made do. With Celeste running the books and finances of their company, they were able to provide a beautiful life for their children. Celeste worked tirelessly to provide the best life for her girls, despite many tough times, troubles, and turbulence.
Unfortunately, Celeste's husband had been denied life insurance. They had tried many times to get life insurance, but were always denied.  Therefore, Celeste is left with no income since his death, and no money coming in to pay for bills, which are mounting quickly.  There is no help from any family either. Just the worst-case scenario one could ever imagine.
We are asking for just enough to help cover some basic bills for the next couple of months while Celeste handles this tragedy and begins her search for a new job and a way to provide as best as she can for her two adorable little girls.
Please give all you can or as little as you can.  Also, if you know anyone looking for an employee that is college educated and sharp as a tack, please let me know!  Celeste is incredibly bright and talented and would be a tremendous asset to any organization!
I am hoping to raise a minimum of $7,500 for this beautiful family. Please reach into your hearts and help my friend! Thank you so much! Meghan
