Help Nicole Harris with Medical Treatment

Donation protected
My name is Linda Brister, the Mother and caretaker of my daughter Nicole and her 3 children. My daughter, Nicole Harris, has been battling Mutiple Myeloma for almost 2 years. Initially we were told that multiple myeloma was not curable, but very treatable - with new treatments coming out all the time. It turns out that she has an aggressive form of multiple myeloma. She is on her 8th line of treatment and is running out of options.
Medicaid is her only form of insurance, and while they pay for most things, she missed out on a clinical trial because it was out of state and medicaid would not pay for the initial assessment that was required. We are trying to get her healthy enough to get into another clinical trial that may give her more time with her children.
She has been trying to get social security benefits for over a year now and has just been given the "run-around". She can no longer work so her only source of income is child support. Financially, it has been extremely stressful for her.
My daughter is a single mom with 3 children ages 17, 13, and 10. They are her world, and even though she may not have all the time in the world to be with them, I want to help her get as much time as she can for them.
We just found out that Nicole does not qualify for any of the clinical trials due to her blood count and platelets being too low.  We are asking for help with end of life care, funeral expenses, and the children's future well-being and education expenses.
Sadly, Nicole has lost her battle with cancer. She passed away on Thanksgiving Day surrounded by her family.
