Help Us Give Alex a Proper Farewell

My son, my 18 year old son, lost his life in a horrible motorcycle accident this past Sunday. It has taken everything in me to be able to post this because as a mother I am so broken. Alex was full of joy. Full of laughter. So silly, so loving, and had such a big heart. He would stop to help every homeless person that he came across...giving him his coat, water, shoes, and money. I love my baby so much and all I want is to be able to send him off with a proper funeral service. He loved to ride his motorcycle. I kick myself because I bought him this last bike...the bike that I now know that he road into heaven...but I know in those final moments my son was happy. They told me he did not suffer....that it was instant. And that is helping my heart just a little. If you can, I am not one to ever ask for help. But, because Alex was only 18 he didn't have life insurance. I wasn't prepared to lose my oldest baby at such a delicate age...just after he got accepted into college. I raised him on my own and his brother and sister as well. I've also come to know that there are other gofund me pages that have been opened in his name that will not be used to help to pay for his expenses....please know that this is the only one that is legitimate. If you can find it within your heart to help to support us as we prepare my son's final expenses I appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. Alex loves everyone. I would like to send him off in a good way, and I will need help going forward since I have to continue to take care of my other two children. He was taken way to soon, but I know that this will not be in vain. Thank you all so much in advance.
