It breaks my heart to have to share this because no one is ever truly prepared to lose their mom (she's still here battling but we don't know for how long...), and Unfortunately, that is what my four siblings and I are currently going through, along with my four nieces and nephews (ages 6, 8, 10, and 12) whom my mom adopted.

We are asking for help to cover expenses we were not prepared for, including funeral costs and legal fees. My fiancé and I will be taking on custody of the four children, which requires court proceedings, as well as the assistance of an estate lawyer.

We know the world is facing many challenges right now, especially just after the holidays, so anything helps—even if it’s simply a like or a share. We truly appreciate any support during this incredibly difficult time.
