My name is Linda Stidham. I'm 27 years old, a single mother with two children, ages 5 and 10. On the night of Friday, April 3, 2026, my mother, Amanda Stidham (known as Mandy), was involved in a fatal accident just a couple miles from my house where she was staying. She was riding her bicycle home from Dollar General with groceries when the accident happened.

This loss has been devastating for our family. My financial situation is not favorable, and I have very few resources or assets to contribute toward paying for cremation. The unexpected nature of this tragedy has left us struggling to cover the costs and to support my children and myself during this difficult time. Additionally, the state denied our family's request for an autopsy, so I am hoping to obtain enough funds to arrange a private autopsy.

Donations will help cover cremation expenses, provide much-needed support for our family, and help us obtain a private autopsy. Any donations are greatly appreciated. Please pray for our family. Thank you.
