As many of you know, my mother passed away suddenly and without notice. We are trying to raise money to help with funeral costs.

She was a proud woman and would hate to know that we are asking for help on her behalf, but I am not too proud. I told her it’s okay to ask for help when help is needed. Anything anyone can spare would mean so much to my family and I. I know it’s Christmas time and times are tough.

And if you can’t donate money, please keep us in your prayers as the days to come are going to be the hardest of my life, our lives.
