Donna Marie Allgood, Minneapolis, MN—The community is mourning the recent passing of Donna Marie Allgood, who died on May 16th. Donna leaves behind three children, aged 22, 24, and 37, all of whom have significant mental health and disability needs and are struggling to cope with their mother’s death while living well below the poverty level.
Donna’s sister, Sara Smalley, has organized a fundraiser titled "Help My Late Sister’s Children Through Crisis" to support her nieces and nephews through this challenging time. Due to an administrative error with Dakota and Hennepin Counties, the family will not receive the burial assistance funds they were expecting, adding to their financial stress.
The initial goal of the fundraiser is to raise $4,000 to cover the costs of Donna’s cremation and ossuary placement, which total $4,089. Any additional funds raised will go directly to the children’s immediate needs, such as rent and food. Sara has set a total goal of $8,000 to help stabilize their financial situation over the next four to five months until their representative payees are approved.
As of today, the fundraiser has raised $140 from three generous donors: an anonymous supporter who contributed $100, Laurie Bushbaum who donated $25, and Sean Barron who gave $15. Sara appeals to the community for further support, emphasizing the hope and stability that community assistance can bring to her sister’s children during this crisis.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Donna Marie Allgood’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and especially her children during this difficult time.
