As most of you know, my best friend Barbara Winter recently passed away. We were 45 years apart, but she was truly the yin to my yang. Barbara didn't have many friends and no family, but she meant the world to me. She especially loved her 'booboo,' Novaleigh, and brought so much light into my life during some of my toughest times.

Now, I'm trying to raise the money needed to have her cremated so I can bring her home. The cost of cremation is more than I can manage alone, and without support, I can't do this by myself. Even if you donate a dollar, anything helps. I know Barbara wasn't always the nicest person and had her share of enemies, but to me, she was a loyal friend who stood by me when I needed it most.

Your support would mean everything to me as I try to honor Barbara's memory and bring her home. Thank you for reading and for any help you can give.
