Michael's Memorial Service Fund

My brother Michael passed away on February 17, 2016, after a long drawn out battle with addiction issues. Michael Angelo Louis is a son, brother, and father. As a law student in $150,000+ in debt, I myself am tight on what I can do to help my mother.  My mother, who struggles to make it through every month, is now faced with the choices of how to put my brother at rest. As I broke the news of my brother’s death to my mother, I watched a piece of her die. Anyone who knows me, knows I am usually against these GoFundMe pages, and am super embarrassed as I ask for this help, but I need to know I did all I could — for my mother, my niece, and most importantly, my brother.

While we are thankful to have a couple of family members help us get some money together, I am afraid it may not even be enough for a proper service.  Any money donated will go to taking care of memorial expenses.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I love each and every one of you. If you cannot donate anything, I completely understand, please just send prayers for my mother — who has fought and given her life to getting my brother on the right track, unfortunately, we lost that battle. But I wont lose this one.

**I have upped the goal amount in order to be able to cover the fees from Go Fund Me.Com. Please do not think this was in an effort to get more money. Thank you all agian!
