My name is Nikki Kallias and I'm starting this GoFundMe for my good friend Elli Nicolis, who lost her mother unexpectedly. Elli is a full time nursing student and is the sole organizer for services for her mother, so it's understandable why finding the resources to cover the funeral expenses would be a burden along with having to grieve for her mother.

No one is prepared to lose a parent but even more so during the holiday season. I would ask that you consider easing this hardship for Elli, as any amount will truly help during this difficult time. She would be the first person to help a friend in need so this is our opportunity to support her.  
Any contribution would be appreciated. Funeral services are pending.
