In the first 24 hours we have raised $1,715 dollars which is an amazing start, that will pay next month's rent and some additional expenses as well. They will probably still have to move to a cheaper apartment at some point, but if they can have a few months to mourn without having to panic about their financial situation that will no doubt help the healing process.
I know the mother is extremely grateful to everyone who donated, she is extremely traumatized and seeing people she doesn't even know step up to help her has allowed her to have a few smiles at a time when she desperately needs them.
