Help a brother, Help a brother out

Donation protected
I have created this Go Fund Me page to ask for help for my brother, Mitchell and me, Garrett. Mitchell is in 7th grade and I am a senior in high school ready to graduate next month. Everything in our lives was “normal” until May 21st,2019. We found ourselves living alone in our house with no parents, or family around. Our family is dealing with legal issues and that has left us alone.  I am trying to be both parents to my brother, myself, take care of all household duties, and keep my father’s business running. All of this while trying to finish school and work through the emotional trauma. It is out of my nature to ask for assistance from others, but to be able to get through this difficult time I will need financial help. The goal is set at $10,000 because we were unable to set up this account without a goal. We have received a great deal of emotional support from people at our schools, community, and friends. All has been so appreciated. I am absolutely overwhelmed with the bills and necessities I need to cover to survive and keep things as normal as possible. My biggest concern now is my brother and his well- being, a short month ago all my thoughts were on college. I have learned very quickly how much my parents took care and did for us and now I am trying to do the same.   Any support will go to my brother and myself, because of legal issues I do not want to go into much detail due to certain circumstances.   

Thank you,

Garrett Burtner
