Fundraiser For NJ Child Who Died In His Sleep Exceeds Goal
"This was the last thing I could buy or do for him," the child's father wrote, saying they had difficulties affording the final expenses.

I have enjoyed working as a reporter in New Jersey for more than a dozen years and getting to know the communities and people on my news beats.
A few of my stories have garnered awards along the way from the New Jersey Governor's Council on Mental Health Stigma, the New Jersey Press Association, Arise NJ and non-profit Corporation For New Jersey Local Media.
My educational background is diverse, with a Bachelor's Degree from the State University of New York in French Secondary Education and a minor in Political Science. I also hold a Paralegal Degree and Certification from Sussex County Community College.
In addition to English and French, I speak some Spanish and German.
When I'm not writing, I enjoy time with my family, photography, traveling, cooking, music, classic movies and gardening.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at: jennifer.miller@patch.com.
