My name is Kelly, and I am raising funds to help keep a burial plot next to my son, Jacob. Jacob was my youngest child, and he was loved by so many friends. He was witty, popular, and brought so much joy to everyone who knew him. Losing him at the age of 19 was the hardest thing I have ever faced.

One of my favorite memories is when Jacob was finishing high school. Even though he was highly intelligent, he struggled to finish some classes to graduate. I had faith in him and bought his cap and gown anyway. I’ll never forget the moment he came into my room, wearing his cap and gown, and posed for me. That was his way of telling me he did it—I always knew he could.

Being able to keep the burial plot next to Jacob means the world to me. It gives me peace to know that one day I can be laid to rest beside him, so he won’t be alone. Right now, I am behind on payments, and I am reaching out for help so I don’t lose this special place next to my son. My friends and family know how important this is to me, and any support would mean so much. Thank you for considering a donation or sharing my story.
