Sean's sudden passing has left me stunned.  He was the brightest thing in my life and I know how much he meant to his friends and family.  Thanks to his service in the military, his final expenses are covered.  I am creating this fundraiser at the request of several of his friends who wanted to contribute to my household expenses and travel to DC for his inurnment at Arlington.  I won't lie- Sean's passing leaves me in a precarious position.  I have one year left to finish my Bachelor's degree.  I'm currently underemployed.  Sean's unemployment over the last few months had drained our savings completely.  I'm lucky to have family to fall back on who will never let me starve or be homeless, and in that I am much luckier than most.  But I am also not in a position to refuse any gift freely given.  I humbly appreciate any contributions.
