My name is Lorre, and I am reaching out during one of the most difficult times of my life. My brother, Brian, was recently hit by a car while riding his bike home. He is now on life support with little to no brain activity, and my family is facing the heartbreaking reality of saying our good-bye's. I am desperate to travel down to Los Angeles to be with him and my family during these final moments, but my financial situation is pretty dire at the moment and I do not have the means to pay for travel expenses and accommodations while there.

The funds raised will be used to purchase three plane tickets for myself and my two children, so we can be by Brian’s side. We will also need help with a place to stay near the hospital while we are in Los Angeles. Your support will allow us to be together as a family, to say our good-bye's, and to support each other through this heart breaking situation.

I am so grateful to anyone who is in a position to help my family and I in an emergency situation like this. And if you are not, I completely understand. When I am in a better financial situation I promise I will pay it forward.
