Jerry's Journey of Illness

My mother was unable to care for myself and my other 4 siblings due to her mental illness. My name is Tammy and at the tender age of 5 yrs.old,I was taking out of my mom 's care and placed in my aunt's home.
At the age of 23 yrs.old is when my life stopped and the journey began.I was so excited to finally reunite with my mother to welcome her in my new home to care for her. In addition to her mental illness,she also has developed diabetes,high cholesterol, high blood pressure,severe anemia and nonverbal.Despite of me being a single parent of 2 daughters (ages 1 & 5 yrs.old at the time) I was determined to make it all workout.
August 2014
My mother had 7 seizures,2 strokes,massive meningioma tumor removed and was in a coma for a week. It took several of months of recovery in rehab.
September 2015     
My mother was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.West Cancer Center immediately began chemo treatments. 5 different treatments but none of them was successfully. I researched online and tried many home remedies and ordered so  many products,fruits,etc...that suppose to kill the cancer cells but none of it worked. The cancer was too aggressive. I felt so defeated and frustrated.
November 2015
My mother had mastectomy procedure on her left breast along with 13 lymph nodes removed. January 2016
Metastatic and very aggressive!The cancer severely attacked her
organs.
June 2016
 Her vision gradually declined to now 100 % blind.
January 2017   
Pneumonia ,blood clots and cancer filled her lungs. Loss of appetite,teary& yellow eyes,darken face structure,very weak bones and skin has developed a major breakdown. All she do is sleep for hours and grunts in pain
February 2017
Doctors and hospice announce to me that my mom conditions are at the final days to crossover her journey.
Throughout these 15 yrs. it has been really a struggle.I have missed plenty of days,weeks and even months from work, sacrificing to care for my mother.I am not complaining because I am so grateful and blessed that God appointed
(little bitty) me to care for her. God will not put more on you than you can bare.God has abundantly strengthen me and always have provided for my daughters and my finances.I have never ever been the one to ask for assistance. Always been the lender& giver, not the borrower&taker. Unfortunately,due to the many series of illnesses, life insurance agencies would not accept her.
Today,I am swallowing my pride and crying so hard right now as I type
(this is so difficult for me ) to sincerely ask for everyone to please help me raise $5,765 to help with my mothers funeral expenses. I am highly appreciative of all donations. If it's even $5,I am highly appreciative. At least share my story with everyone you know. Blessings & Thankyou in advance
