July Fourth was a tragic day for Amanda Swett and her family. That day, her 10-week-old son died of SIDS.
Brayden Josiah Swett had just learned to smile.
To help pay for the funeral, Amanda Swett used an online fundraising website. In about one week, she raised $2,430.
"I've had a lot of donations," she said. "I had a fundraiser website, and people came in and dropped off money."
She said she is no longer seeking donations and that the funeral has already passed. Swett has lived in Palm Coast for 12 years and is a graduate of Flagler Palm Coast High School.
See the Palm Coast Observer on Saturday for more.
