I lost my sweet,beautiful son three years ago, this month, He was taken from us by a young boy whom he had taken under his wing, as he did so many kids in our neighborhood. He was found in his car ,less than a block from our home, by his (14 months younger) brother and his (6 year elder) sister. Our family was shattered and, to be honest, I still can’t tell you how we survived loosing him but miraculously, we are still here. Victim’s compensation and my job, at the time, paid for his services in full but to say that our family has struggled financially from the emotional toll would be an understatement.his siblings managed to go back to work and continue living but I have never been back to work and I don’t get out of the house much but on occasion I will venture out, down the street to visit my sweet boy. But it breaks my heart because he is the only grave without a headstone because neither party covered that and I just haven’t been able to acquire (roughly) $2000.00 at one time to get him one.
I have always felt heavy hearted anytime I was at a cemetery and came upon an unmarked grave. It felt like whomever it was had just been abandoned and the world had forgotten that they were ever here. I am humbled now because that couldn’t be any farther from the truth.
I am not prideful when it comes to my family. I see the pain in my children’s eyes when we go see their brother because they know that I know he deserves a headstone but they never say a word. Please,help me give my sweet ,beautiful baby the proper marker that his brother and sister and nieces and nephews can be proud of.
He gave myself and everyone around him so,so much. Please help me give my baby one final gift. Consider this my application to the Angel Tree.
Thank you so much, in advance
