My name is Tracy Thibodeau, and I just got the call this morning that no mother ever wants to get. My beautiful daughter Amber Hood left us this morning. I am in desperate need of any assistance in flying from Oregon, back home to Delaware to claim her body and make funeral arrangements. I am a full-time college student, and my income is barely enough to live on, so I have no emergency funds saved up and the funeral costs are going to be over $5,000 alone. I just want to get to my baby and hold her one last time. This tragedy was so unexpected and devastating. If anyone can help, please, please help me; I will forever be grateful for your kindness. Thank you so much.

UPDATE: I just recently lost my son on July 26th. I can't begin to explain the immense pain and grief of losing both of my children in 4 months. I am still hoping that I will get more donations to help with my daughter's funeral expenses, as it is still such an overwhelming balance. I will be so grateful for any help, even if I don't reach my goal, every little bit helps. Please share or donate if you can. Thank you so much

UPDATE: If you prefer to donate directly to the funeral home, here is the phone number and address so you can contact them directly and reference Amber Hood.
