This is a collection for a one year old child. whose father was murdered in cold blood by the child's mother. I'm a friend of the murder victim and I feel compelled to help the family of the deceased. He was like a younger brother to me and I really loved him and miss him not only to me but to many friends and family. Fate is sometimes cruel and it is necessary to help each other. I know that money will not bring back a friend, brother, son, grandson and father, but I would like money for the son that is left behind because if his father was still alive he would only want the best for him and I believe that if he were in my shoes he would definitely take the same steps that I did. I want only the best for his son and I believe that together we can help raise an amount that I believe is adequate for this case. It's not too little, but it's not too much for a boy growing up without a father. He does have a mother, but in prison, who will carry the status of a murderer for the rest of her life.
