Last week I lost my brother in a sudden event that took a week to finalize. My brother had his faults, but he had the biggest heart. He lent friends money, he helped others get jobs, and he supported my mom for years.

Funds will be used for the final arrangements for my brother and to support my mother's expenses over the next month. These funds will give her time to find a roommate, and time to work through her grief. My brother and my mom were very close and this event has hit her hard.
