help Deborah and family with funeral expenses

Donation protected
Hi everyone! We are putting together this fundraiser for our friend and co-worker Deborah Patterson who tragically lost her 32 year old son, Matt Veltre, on Friday January 7, 2022. He was born on 4/11/1989 and was taken suddenly, at a young age of 32. Those of us who had the pleasure of hanging with him knew how kindhearted he was. Those of us that worked with Matt, knew that he was an amazing cook and very creative inside and outside of the kitchen. His rice balls will be missed ! Matt had so much to offer and filled with dreams but unfortunately his life was cut way to short.
He is survived by his mother Deborah Patterson, his sister Amanda Veltre and brother Michael Potoski. A mothers worst nightmare is to outlive their children. Deborah, a hard working single mom is now faced with this tragedy. In an instant, she left New York to go to South Carolina to bring her son home so he can be at peace, here, in Long Island where he grew up so he can be put to rest.
Deborah and family are devastated and any help that you can give toward funeral costs, cremation etc., will greatly be appreciated.
