On Monday, May 3rd, 2021, my best friend, Breanna Law, suddenly and unexpectedly lost her mother, Amanda Spence Jackson. Amanda was only 47 years young at the time of her death. Like most people her age and in fair health, Amanda did not have a life insurance policy so now her family must not only bare the agonizing pain of losing a loved one, but additionally will have the economic burden to give Amanda the thoughtful funeral that she deserves. I’m organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Amanda’s three beautiful children, Blake, Breanna, and Brandon so that they do not have to accumulate a major debt in the midst of the most traumatic thing any human being can experience.
At this time, the family is still waiting on Amanda’s autopsy to know her official cause of death, but based on the evidence from the investigation it appears that she died in her home, peacefully of natural causes. Very little information is available as of now.
Amanda had the biggest heart, biggest blue eyes, and biggest smile you’d ever come to meet. She was the type of woman that would sacrifice anything for the health, safety, and happiness of others. She was not only the mother of my best friend, but she was very much a second mother to me and has been a source of light and unconditional love in my life for nearly 20 years.
Amanda has been a huge help in caring for Breanna’s two year old son, Anson, since the untimely passing of Anson’s father only a few weeks after Breanna gave birth. In so many ways Breanna is still recovering from the trauma of losing the father of her child and being a single mother, but having her own loving mother by her side made her difficult journey all the more bearable.
During the midst of this storm, Breanna and her family should not have to be strong. They should not have to live in a world where they aren’t allowed to process and grieve the death of someone so dear because they are too consumed by the expenses of burying them. Your donations will not only help cover some of the costly expenses of giving Amanda a proper funeral, but it will also help secure housing for Amanda’s youngest son, Brandon, who still lived under her care, and it will help Breanna afford childcare for Amanda’s grandson Anson, since she was his secondary caretaker. Please consider donating to help this amazing family have security and peace of mind in the face of a tragedy. ❤️
