Support the Cook Family after unexpected loss

Hi, my name is Mikel Cook, and I am fundraising on behalf of my mother Tara and younger sisters Kylee and Isabel.

Early this week we were confronted with the tragic news of our father, Michael J Cook, passing.

Mike was a devoted family man and a supportive friend to many. His main goal in life was to be a strong and loving figure for my little sister Kylee.

Kylee is only 13 years old and we will need to come together to support her through this hard time and to guide her as we continue on without Mike here with us as he always has been.

My mom has always been our rock, offering love, support, and guidance to our family.

She is enrolled in nursing courses at Ottawa University and has been excelling. Despite the emotional toll of losing our father, she sees an opportunity to honor his memory and provide for our family by continuing her long-held ambition to become a nurse.

Completing her nursing program will allow for her to continue to provide for my sisters and I in a way that Mike would've wanted, along with allowing her to help countless others.

Nonetheless, the financial burden of nursing school is significant, and we find ourselves in a situation where we need help. We have set up this GoFundMe campaign to get us through these tough times. Your generosity can make a tremendous impact on our lives and enable my mom to pursue her dream while providing for our family.

Here's a breakdown of how your contributions can make a difference:

1. Living Expenses: As a single parent, my mom will need support for day-to-day living expenses to focus on her studies without additional stress.

2. Tuition and Fees: Nursing school tuition can be overwhelming, and your support will directly contribute to covering these expenses.

3. Books and Supplies: The cost of textbooks, study materials, and other supplies can quickly add up. Your donations will help ease this financial burden.

4. Childcare: Ensuring that my younger siblings are well-cared for while my mom attends school is crucial. Your contributions will help cover their schooling and activity costs.

We understand that times are tough for many, and any amount you can contribute will be deeply appreciated. Every dollar brings us closer to making my mom's dream a reality and securing a brighter future for our family.

Please consider sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks to help us reach our goal. Your kindness and support mean the world to us, and we are grateful for any assistance you can provide during this challenging time.

All our gratitude

-The Cook Family
