Ch. 1; Top of page 4, second frame. Tohru-san says the following:  
今年の5月に女手一つで育ててくれた母を亡くし

My grammar is still only Genki I so pardon the mistakes, don’t have time to study so I’m hoping to improve through reading!

so would it be broken down as follows?

育てる：to be raised (conjugated in the te-form)  
くれる: to do the favor of (conjugated in the past-casual form)  
育てて・くれた: did me the favor of raising (me)
