I am not in the same situation as this family is, but I do have a son that was very sick and near death and I can not fathom asking people to give money to support his brother (my other son) if he did die. I think that someone needs to reach out to this mother and offer their counsleing services or something. Where does she work? Can someone there offer to pay for a few counseling services? idk.. something about the coping OR using of an opportunity for gain! (I hate to put it like that tho.... I guess I am one that is the quiet greiver! I don't want a million benefits and talking on the news and airing everything to the world...) I just pray that the mother can get some help AND definitely his brothers, they already lost Johnny... they don't need to lose a mother too, no matter how wacky she seems at the moment.
