Martina's burial and children's well being fund

Donation protected
As most of you know, my name is Mandi Kendall and  I am the sister of Martina Marina who passed away very suddenly this past Thursday to sepsis. There are no words for the void that she leaves behind.  We are all still reeling from the loss and the subsequent decisions that must now be made.  I would not normally reach out in this way but so many have asked me how they can help and if I had considered GoFundMe.  I had not but after much soul searching I realize that I am not currently in a position financially to do what I must for her.  My sister leaves behind two boys that were reliant upon her as their provider.  The financial situation before her death was not good and now it is dire.  For those who know me you know that ensuring they have  the basics is of great importance to me.  Additionally I will be taking over custody of her youngest son which will require that I retain a lawyer and petition the courts for guardianship.  Her burial and the expense of travel back and forth to handle her affairs is also significant.  I have no goal in mind although I had to set one.  I am overwhelmed by the love and support that so many have already shown.  For those who can and want to... your contribution is appreciated.  Feel no obligation but thank you in advance for your consideration and continued prayers for my family.
