Jerry's Odd Corner of the Internet

This is my mom, my hero, my strength, my everything.

On Friday, July 13th, 2012 she committed suicide. My girlfriend and I found her lifeless body around 4am. the hysteria that followed was unlike anything i have ever experienced before. 

She left me alone. I am an only child, my father has never been in the picture and my family isn’t the greatest. Now I have a million responsibilities and its all too much for me to do on my own. I have to sell practically everything in my house, pack up what i want to keep to take to school, and be out by August 6th, I’ve got to figure out how im going to pay for the funeral costs, how I’m going to pay for school, and how I’m ever going to get my own car. All while trying to work and get through college and then figuring out where im going to live while im not in school. My mom didnt have life insurance, and she only left me about $600. My family and close friends have donated some money, but the cost of the funeral is only down to $1800. I don’t see my family helping out anymore with the costs. I’ve set up a bank account to accept donations and I’ve been trying to get some of my followers on here to donate to my PayPal account. So far however, I’ve only received close to $300. My goal is to get as much as i can so i can take care of the funeral cost, pay for school, save for my own apartment, and get a car. 

I’ve never been one to broadcast my problems, but i just cant do this all by myself. I’m not too proud to ask for help. I NEED help. all the help i can get. I need people to talk to that have lost someone close to suicide, i need help dealing with all these emotions. And please, if you are able to donate anything, anything at all please do so here every penny, every dollar counts. I’d really appreciate if all of my followers could reblog this. i need to get the word out.
