Help Janeen's Family Lay Her to Rest

Donation protected
On May 1st, 2025, my mother, Janeen Shaw's remains were found at Haddam State Park by a woman walking her dog helping us end a 9-week search.
Three days later, on May 4th, 2025, her husband joined her at the gates of heaven, leaving my brothers and myself to continue the journey called life with the village they entrusted.

Due to these series of events, as my mother's eldest, I am in charge of my mother's burial along with my grandmother who currently resides in Delaware and also has to cover expenses to get here so we can properly lay my mother to rest.

Our services are being held on May 17th; however, in order for them to release her remains and death certificate to us as her family, we have to pay the balance 48 hours before the day.

Although my mother struggled daily with her mental health, she always helped those in need starting with when the soup kitchen in Middletown was closed on Sunday's and we would serve hot food on Main Street and never stopped there!

PLEASE HELP ME lay my mother to rest so my family and I can grieve properly.
