Nephew murdered, sister Lisa Stefano needs funds

Donation protected
My sister Lisa's son Joey was found murdered in her home yesterday.  I am trying to raise enough money so she can bury him and find a new place to live. 

My sister left home last Wednesday to fly to Florida because her and my oldest sister Kathi had just lost their stepmother who had just lost her battle with Alzheimer's disease.  Lisa returned home yesterday to Texas, only to find she was locked out of her home.  She found that a window was busted out and her neighbor helped her crawl through that window so that she could walk through to the front door to unlock it and get her belongings off the front porch.  As she walked through her home, she noticed there was a large amount of blood and broken glass throughout, and then when she reached the kitchen, she shrieked in horror when she found a dead body lying on the floor, face covered.  The body appeared to her to be that of a friend of a friend.  She immediately ran outside and called 911 and spent most of the day at the house talking with officers and such.  Today, she reached out to me around lunchtime and filled me in on the details.  Her son did not have a phone and her son's friend who also lived with them had been having issues with his phone so Lisa had not spoken to them in a few days.  She conveyed that she was extremely worried about Joey and was afraid he was hurt somewhere and couldn't get to a phone to call her.  This afternoon as I finished work, I received a text from her telling me that the medical examiner had reached out to her and told her that the body that she had found in her house was in fact that of her son Joey.  Words cannot convey how devastated she is.  She is staying temporarily with her boyfriend until things can be worked out otherwise.  

Please reach deep into your hearts and give if you can.  She doesn't have enough money to bury him.  Obviously, since his body was found in her home, she will need to find a new place to live, as there is no way she can return to her home.  I love my sister very much and words cannot express how much my heart aches and hurts for her right now.  She asked me if I would start a GoFundMe page for her, since there isn't much else I can do for her.  God bless you if you took the time to read the story and an extra blessing to you if you donated.  I will distribute funds to her as needed or once we reach goal.  Thanks again, and God bless.  Jennie
