Help for Jesse's mom to survive his loss

Michelle Hodge lost her only son, Jesse Hodge, to violence on May 20.  He was killed a week before his 23rd birthday.  Jesse was a loyal friend and son with very strong convictions.  Although he and his mom lived a few states away, they would have long text conversations into the night. 

Michelle, also known as Axl, is herself experiencing very hard times now.  She is out of work and not in a permanent living situation.  She also is struggling with health issues at the moment. 

Michelle needs money asap to get from her home in Kentucky to Virginia to plan the memorial service for her son next week.  Funds are also needed to pay the funeral expenses to lay him to rest.  Any money raised beyond those needs would go to Michelle's housing needs.
