We alert you today to a single mother who just lost her 5-year-old son. Her little boy was born prematurely and fought various illnesses during his short life. In early April, he developed a persistent fever that lasted over a week. She took him to the doctor and was told that it was likely a virus that just needed to run its course. A few days later, she received an urgent call from the boy’s father, who was screaming and telling her that he thought their son was dying. Emergency services responded, but it was too late. Her son passed away on the way to the hospital.

They are still unclear about the cause of death, but she believes it was some kind of seizure related to the fever. As you can imagine, she has been paralyzed with grief. While going through grief counseling over the last month, she has not been able to work her normal hours. She is finally working full-time again, but she fell behind on her monthly bills. We want to cover one month of rent, utilities, and food for her, totaling $3,800.
