LSU Siblings need help after mother died

Sorry if already posted, but these kids need help.
GoFundMe
Being their sole parental figure, the loss of their mother left Eddie and Enjanae without a support system. The siblings are both students at Louisiana State University, and they have been living on campus for the last semester. As of May 18th, both of their leases for on-campus housing will end, which would leave them more or less homeless. Having no means of transportation, living on-campus is extremely important for their access to resources and education. The purpose of this GoFundMe is to help raise emergency funding for their living expenses for the upcoming semester and to help pay off student loans taken out in order to finance their education.
Eddie Taylor is 22, a junior, and majors in Sports Administration. He is active in the LSU community, working with an event management internship and being a star member of the LSU Powerlifting team. Enjanae Taylor is 20, a sophomore, and majors in Fashion Merchandising and Journalism at LSU. She is an Alpha Lambda Delta officer, a PR officer of the Fashion Association at LSU, and also works as an Entertainment Reporter at The Reveille.
Both Eddie and Enjanae are very involved with their communities at LSU, and being huge LSU fans, their education was a point of pride for their mother. It is important to Eddie and Enjanae that they can continue their education not only for themselves, but as a tribute to their mom. Any donation can help create financial stability and ease the immense stress that these two young adults are facing far earlier than they should have to.

Thanks for posting. I can’t imagine what they’re dealing with. The grief I went through after my losing my Mom was unbearable for a long time.

I was told people who are homeless are lazy.
Can't they work?

Hope they get the help they need. I can’t imagine going parentless at such a young age.

Did she not have life insurance?

I think joining the Military would be an option. They get a support system that also pays for their school.

Life is not easy at times and as they are well in their 20’s. The best lesson learned is how to survive on your own as they are adults giving up somethings to obtain other things.
They need to make hard decisions learning how to survive first, drop some extra curricular activities exchanging that time for a part time job, and college is second. They can drop down to 12 hours and work which a lot of people do while earning their college degree.
I feel bad that they lost a parent at an early age. Just do not feel bad that they have not learned a valuable lesson in life how to make decisions on time management to survive while obtaining your goals.

Can they renew their on campus housing and have it covered by grant/financial aid? (I'm not saying not to donate, I'm hoping they can get their housing covered and not have to worry about that part)

I am just shocked that no one has commented on this dude being part of the powerlifting team. He looks to maybe be 145 lbs.
Where is the father in all of this?

Dang that sucks. Hopefully once they stabalize they both can work, get bikes, rent a cheap apartment. Living on campus is more expensive. Apply for every scholarship possible, especially the female. They give scholarships just for that. And hope they have some family somewhere that can maybe help out until they graduate.

This might come off as me being a dick, but its really not my intentions. Its just me being honest.
This is a sad situation, but I do not donate to any Gofundme page in which I haven't had any type of interaction with the people involved or close to the situation.
Sometimes the best gift you can give to people of a certain age is to let them figure life out for themselves.

The brother needs to change his priorities if he doesn't want to end up on these streets.
