Freilich and Harris got married in July after meeting and falling in love during college, according to the GoFundMe.

The fundraiser was organized by Harris' sister, Emily, to support Harris' education and to help her with the plans she and her husband made together.

"Megan is currently a full time nursing student who needs our help," the post reads. "She lost the love of her life, her soul mate and best friend. Mike was Megans financial support while she was able to focus on school. She wants to continue school, she wants to finish what her and Mike set out to do together."
