Emergency Costs With My Brother's Passing

On January 3rd my little brother, Christopher, made the decision to leave this world, along with the pressure, sadness, and stress that became unbearable for him. I had been talking with him daily leading up to this event, however, despite my best efforts and thinking we were working through it, he made this permanent decision. Recently Chris had had a robbery in his home and a few personal items were taken, including his journal. Chris was a very loving person but also very private. No matter how I tried to talk him through and explain how much we all loved him, the thought of someone reading and sharing his private thoughts became to much for him. He also had someone accessing his online Facebook accounts and private emails.

I also reiterate what I said to him... there was nothing in that book that was worth him losing his life over. As the outpouring of love keeps coming in it is evident how much he touched so many lives in such a positive way. He was my heart and I'm shattered that I will now live a life without his bright spirit in it.

I now find myself in the difficult and awkward position of having to ask for help myself. Something I don't often do, however this is an extreme situation. I need to get out by my brother to collect his dog and some items and assess what comes next. Unfortunately I am currently in the process of selling my condo, but not working and am behind on payments etc. I would never ask for help if this truly was not an emergency and desperate situation. Unfortunately my mom and step dad have also passed over the last 18 months and there is no one for me to turn to for help. We are still working on payment arrangements to get her ashes. If you would consider a donation. I truly would be appreciative. I'm in over my head here.
