Burial and travel expenses

Donation protected
I know this is a very difficult and trying time for everyone yet I am asking for help and support for my best friend Sherry Wilkinson.  She recently lost her only daughter Machele  "Shelley" Gilbert on May 23 . Nothing in life prepares us for loss especially the loss of ones child.  Machele left behind a son Braydon who is 16 years old.  Sherry has suffered terrible loss over the last several years.  Her husband of 9 years passed away due to cancer and shortly after that her dear mother Mary Sugden passed away. 

There is no insurance to help defray the cost of burial.  Not only that Sherry resides in Virginia and needs to travel to Pennsylvania in order to make arrangements for Machele and to be with family.  We need to help her as much as possible to make sure that she can get to honor her daughter as well with a celebration of life memorial to be held at a later date.  A fund would also hopefully be established for Macheles son Braydon.

Your help and support of Sherry at this difficult time is truly appreciated.
