Doubtful. This year it would likely be a carryover of $12,000 since this is the first year. You can review the special limitations and go through the worksheet.
Publication 526 states:
You can deduct your contributions only in the year you actually make them in cash or other property (or in a later carryover year, as explained under How To Figure Your Deduction When Limits Apply, later). accounting.
You may be able to claim standard deduction in a year which has a carryover and there are special rules which are too complex for the IRS Pub 526 on Charity.
I am very sorry for your loss.
