Bring Samantha Home for Final Farewell

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

My name is Kara, and I'm making this GoFundMe on behalf of my parents, Tom and Karen. We received the news today that my sister, Samantha Boyd, has passed away. She was only 39 years old.

Throughout my life, my sister had struggled with addiction and other personal issues. She passed while in treatment, trying to get help for those issues. She did not live in the city where she died, and her treatment center was across the state from us. We have no way of bringing her home to say goodbye to her.

We are trying to raise money for transportation and funeral costs, as well as a cremation or a burial. This transportation includes the cost of bringing Samantha back to her home and for our family, as well, so we can hold the services in the town that she lived. This would include a hotel and a rental car.

Our goal is to bring her back to us and say goodbye as soon as we can. Any amount helps, and if you cannot donate, we would greatly appreciate any shares or any other help. Thank you.
