Hello, I am Jennifer Tower, the sister-in-law of Kristen Tower, a beautiful, sweet, fun-loving, free-spirited young lady who has unexpectedly, inexplicably and tragically lost her life at the young age of just 35. Kristen was a single mom and left behind two precious young sons, an infant, Maddax and a 12-year-old son, Aidyn.

My in-laws, Debbie and Phil Tower, Kristen's parents, are now caring for Maddax and Aidyn in the wake of the tragic loss of their daughter. As so often occurs with tragedies, this is an enormous loss that could not have happened at a worse time. Debbie slipped and broke her leg just over a week ago and has been unable to work (she has a long commute and has been unable to drive). In addition, her husband, Phil, is disabled; thus, Debbie is the only one in the home able to work to support the family.

Debbie and Phil Tower currently lease their home, and their lease expires at the end of the month. The landlord will not be renewing the lease. (The landlord has graciously agreed to give them an extra 30 days to find another place under these extenuating circumstances.) However, with rents at an all-time high and with the added financial burden of providing for two children on a fixed income, Debbie and Phil are left with little or nothing to pay for the funeral / burial expenses for their daughter, Kristen.

Our family is coming together to support them as best we can under the circumstances. Still, with recent inflation and no raises in sight, we can offer them very little financial assistance.

We are asking anyone and everyone who can to please donate whatever you can. Every penny counts and will help Debbie and Phil in this desperate time of need. Any money raised above and beyond funeral expenses will provide for Kristen's children, Aidyn and Maddax. Please know that whether or not you can help financially, your prayers for this grieving family are deeply appreciated.

May God bless you for taking the time to read and consider this plea for help.
