Looking for a little help for a local mom

Imagine being pregnant with triplets.

Now imagine being pregnant with triplets and having a toddler.

OK, now imagine being pregnant with triplets, having a toddler, and your husband dies.

Right.

Last month I read the story of Montgomery County Police Office, Hector Ayala's tragic death in a car wreck and I can't stop thinking about it. 

I remember being pregnant with twins and it was hard. I can't imagine what his wife is going through as she prepares to deliver their triplets.

I've never met her or the family but I am moved to help. I have considered having some kind of fundraiser but...

I think I'll start with writing about it here, raising awareness, and posting a link to where you can donate.

And if anyone else is moved, let me know and let's get something going.

I saw a post on DC Metro Moms last month about this family. Nicole Crowly/@banblueberry started a fund or posted a link to a fund for the family. Not sure which. So sad.
