We tragically lost our sister Patty on December 13, 2015 in a house fire! She was 34 years young and leaves behind 6 children. The oldest Isaiah is 17, Samantha 15, Ryan 9, Max 8,  George 2, and the youngest Bernadette is 2 months .

Everyone makes bad decisions in their life. Some you can recover from others takes a lot of work. She was really trying to get her life back in order (not just talk) but she wanted to show us she can do it on her own. How do we know this?  We recieved a phone call two days after her death that she recieved her voucher for a home.  A little too late but it proves to us she was telling us the truth and she was working on getting her life back in order.  She was doing all this to bring her children back together.  She loved her children!  My only wish is she wasn't so ashamed and that she could have humbled herself and take the help we offered or to call and ask for help. I have that same problem.  It is hard for me to ask for help when I need it!  

So why this gofundme page!  Her children don't deserve to be punished!  They are suffering enough.  I have been in their shoes, my mother died when I was 16 so I know all too well what they are and what they will be going through.  It is a shame and it is sad!  After my mother passed away our family struggled finacially.  I don't want my nieces and nephews to struggle.   I would like to setup an account for each of them and put money aside for them for college.  

I know for a fact, that her oldest, Isaiah wants to be an engineer!  Fantastic!  I want to help him succeed in his goal!  I want to help all of my nieces and nephews succeed in their goals!  Please help me help them reach their goals too!  I am only trying to reach at least $5k each.  I know college is way more than that but I hope this will at least give them a jump start.

Thank you for your time!
