Support of a Grieving Mom/Widow

Donation protected
Please help me in helping a dear friend.  She has already gone through so much herself by being in an  accident that has left her as an above the knee amputee and arm amputee, which has never stopped her. She is a loving mom of 3 and works while maintaining her household. She is married to the love of her life, Justin who has been her back bone and partner in life. Often sharing her admiration and love of her best friend/husband through social media. 

Justin and Lauren have 2 girls and just shared on social media their excitement in having another child, a baby boy. Lauren gave birth to their son, Seth on December 24th by C-Section. He was released home on December 28th. 

Lauren in pure bliss posts on her facebook page  (like most Moms would) a picture of baby Seth and Justin on December 29th saying the following, "My two favorite men all tucked in and ready for much needed sleepy sleeps at 9:30 am. I’m very blessed to have an infant, less than a week old, that sleeps 4 hours at a time. Silver lining to carrying a huge baby in my 8th and 9th month"  Hours later, Lauren finds her husband Justin passed away in their bed.

Lauren was on unpaid maternity leave while Justin was the only one on paid paternity leave. He was the main breadwinner in the family. Lauren is not only dealing with keeping a roof over the children's head, medical bills and funeral costs but she is also dealing with her own complications from pregnancy with significant swelling in her lower extremities to the point she can't put on her prosthetic leg meaning she cant walk and is bound by wheelchair and unable to drive. 

Lauren already has so much to think about and the last thing she needs to worry about his how she is going to make it financially. At this point, any donation goes a long way.
