Meghan Wilson and her sweet kids, Gavin and Reese, are enduring incredible pain and emotional stress in the unexpected, sudden loss of their husband and dad, Charley, a few days ago. As you may know, the costs of a funeral and burial alone are extremely high and difficult to manage for any family--especially when a person dies at age 41 and they weren't prepared for that to happen anytime soon.

I've been a friend and coworker of Meghan's for 19 years, and I'd like to help her and Charley's friends, coworkers, and others come together to help ease their financial burden during this time. Any funds received beyond the stated costs will go to child- and house-related expenses, which are also critical needs as Meghan adjusts to being a one-income household and single parent.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can contribute.
