SOS!!! Support for a Mother in Deep Grief

***UPDATE*** We found a place that is amazing for roughly 10k, so our goal is much closer than before! Thanks to everyone who has donated already!

Calling all for help! My wife's best friend of 20 years is a single mother of three. Very very recently, her teenager daughter was lost to suicide and the devastation to our friend is proving to be insurmountable without help. My wife is staying with her because for her to be alone right now might be a mistake that we couldn't come back from. She needs intense professional help...like desperately. We have found an in-patient / residential program that she can go to for this exact type of thing where she will receive grief counseling and take part in group counseling with others who are experiencing intense grief from losing a loved one. Working as a single mother has required her to make huge sacrifices to make an income sufficient to provide for her children, however one of those sacrifices is that she doesn't have insurance. The program costs roughly 50k, give or take based on scholarships available. I know most of you that this reaches don't know our grieving friend, but if you know me then hopefully you know that I only reach out when things are very serious and I need serious help. This is one of those times. She needs to pull through this for her other two children. Anything you can donate will go straight to getting her the help she needs and to keep her with us. Anything extra will go to funeral costs and living expenses as she is out of work for an indeterminate amount of time.

Thank you all and God bless!
