PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — A GoFundMe page has been set up to help cover burial expenses for Sabrine Peckham, the Florida mother who was found dead in the jaws of a 13-foot alligator.
The GoFundMe was set up by Peckham's daughter, Breauna Dorris. She said the funds being raised will help with crematory and burial expenses.
A man who was taking an afternoon stroll to a job interview discovered Peckham's body in the alligator's mouth, WFTS reported.
Dorris said her mom struggled with homelessness and lived near where the alligator was found. She described her mom as kind and selfless.
"It didn't matter that she was homeless," Dorris said. "She was nice to everybody."

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are investigating this incident.
The alligator has been caught and killed, according to officials.
