This is a fundraiser to help Amber with legal and living expenses they have coming up. Any amount you can donate will help tremendously.
Amber Merinello Cabrera lost her husband, John, to cancer much to soon and much to fast. She is a young, smart, beautiful woman who is on her own now to raise Marco (4), Hugo, (20mos), and a new little boy to make his entrance any day. Amber is going to have quite a bit to pay out in legal fees, to make sure everything is squared away properly. With John passing so quickly, there are a lot of loose ends to be tied. This fundraiser is going to be used in large part for the legal fees but also to help with day to day stuff that comes up. John was a self employed business owner and although Amber still has MaryKay orders coming in, she is getting ready to have this baby and grieving, taking care of all this stuff with the help of family, and taking care of two young boys. As much as we can ease the financial burden for her, we would like to do just that.
Thank you very much to everyone who has contributed so far. Your generosity and words of encouragement have truly touched the hearts of Amber, the family and everyone involved with this fundraiser.
Please donate what you can, every penny helps. You can also look to the right for Amber's wish list. Thank you!
