Hi my name is Brittany, I am Nichole's oldest child. I am asking for donations to help out my mother and young siblings.

This year has been a nightmare to say the least for my mom, brother and sister. My brother and sister are only 11 and 12 years old. My mom has struggled this year with her health and has been out of work. Just this past week, their father, my mom's partner, has passed away suddenly. He was recently diagnosed with a very late stage of liver cirrhosis. Due to not having insurance he was not able to care for his illness the way he wanted to and was discharged from the hospital way too soon. He passed away in his sleep over this past week. My mom was caring for him over the last few months which has been very costly and overwhelming for her. My brother and sister are the sweetest kids on the planet and deserve the world. Unfortunately this has happened right before Christmas. Their Christmas is going to look a lot differently this year without their father. They deserve the best Christmas ever but unfortunately my mom has been struggling to keep the lights on.

I am trying to raise money to help my mom lessen the load of Christmas as well as basic necessities such as food, rent, utilities, gas, etc. Please consider donating whatever you can, if you do not have the means, I understand it is a very tough time for everyone.

Thank you so much.
