Help Sarah seek justice for Steve

Hello, my name is Sarah. On April 11th, 2018, my older and only brother was murdered in Chicago. Weeks later, while still trying to process my loss, I was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo major surgery. While this was a good distraction, it also interfered with the healing process. As my brother’s next of kin, I bear the responsibilities that come with his unexpected and traumatic death. Some of these responsibilities have caused more trauma. Responsibilities include: ID'ing my brother's body at the medical examiner's office, being responsible for his cremains, and recently being subpoenaed at his alleged murderer's trial.

Four and a half years later, my husband and I will have to take a week away from work, a week away from our home, a week away from our dogs, a week away from any of the comforts that could help make this process less painful. I will sit through a trial where I will have to re-live, in detail, all the trauma of having my brother, Steve, murdered again.

We anticipate that the week of his alleged murderer’s trial will cost $3,000. This amount should cover a place to stay, transportation and tolls from Eau Claire, WI to and from Chicago, IL, transportation to and from the trial, and food. I’m asking for help covering these costs so that instead of worrying about the expenses, I can focus on staying strong and getting through the trial.

I will do my best to keep you updated through gofundme, or on my personal FB page: Sarah Ohr

I appreciate you. Thank you so much for your help.
