It’s very difficult for me to ask for help during this time. However, I decided to proceed with the suggestion of a few friends to create a Go Fund Me for my mother’s funeral services. Any donations are beyond helpful and appreciated.

My mom, Barbara Chandler, was the most amazing human being I have ever known. Her heart exploded with love for her family and friends. She was so passionate about so many ideas and causes.... always there to support anyone in need even no matter what the circumstance. My mom always had a smile on her face and made everyone around her feel loved, safe, and secure. She dropped everything to come get to me and the girls when we needed her the most. My mom never put less than 110% into anything she did.

Her death was unexpected and happened way too soon. For everyone’s peace of mind, I believe in my heart and soul that she passed peacefully in her sleep, as I found her resting comfortably in her bed. 

If you’re reading this, chances are she touched your life in a way that no one else has. She loved and appreciated each and every one of you more than you’ll ever know. I know this because she told me everything about everyone. From childhood friends, to networking groups, to lunch dates, editors, colleagues- the list is endless.

Again, it pains my heart to ask, but any contributions are greatly appreciated more than words can describe. If you cannot donate, I thank you for even reading this. 

God bless.
