Funeral/ Cemetary Costs
Donation protected
Hi Everyone,
Our family are now experiencing an unforunate event. Our mother, Gloria Garcia has been the greatest mother to us all. We will cherish all the memories we have had of her, but we have to conform and accept that she is in this stage we have to let her go in peace and as comfortable as possible. Those of us who know her, know that her love was very big for her kids, family and those she related with. It is very painful, but we will overcome this as this is a part of life. We believe that we will be with her again. We love her so dearly. Now, our family is preparing funeral arrangements for our loving mother. We have a portion some of the family members have been able to gather, but we don't have enough for a niche in the mosoleaum wall or a burrial preferrably. We are trying to get any help possible for the cemetery and funeral costs. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and helpful to afford a decent funeral service.
To know a little background, you can continue reading. Our mother has 8 children, two of wich are minors. She is diabetic and has high blood pressure issues, recently mom developed Congestive Heart Failure, which led to her health declining quickly within the last year. Mom suffered a stroke and on December 17th, 2016. Fluid retention extended to her chest affecting her heart/ lungs. She had close to 2 months stay with so many challenges, entering and leaving intensive care a couple times along with having other heath issues arise and hospital staff unaccepptable ethics we endured. She went home February 2nd, 2017 with complete supervision and assistance to her 24 hours a day. She was still confused about her surroundings, who she was, and who her kids were, but began to recover her speech, strenghth, demeanor, and being self-efficient again. Within 2-3 weeks she was close to being fully recovered to her state before her stroke. She needed 24 hour care in which her daughters and son took turns everyday of the week to care for her. It became possble that she could live a purposeful life again when her doctors highly doubted in her having. The whole month of February we could say she overcame many obstacles. On March 6th, in the morning hours mom fell off her low profile bed and immidietly learning that she seemed disoriented and taken to the hospital after ambulance not feeling they needed to take our mother to the emergency room. The hospital found she had a hematoma next to her brain pushing against her brain, causing brain damage and oxygen/ respiration problems. A craniotomy was done about 10 hours after admittance. She has been under life support for the most time she's been there. We have been seeing her health decline some more. As time passed doctors have told us that they don't see significant change and do not expect for her to have a good quality of life. The hospital doctors could no longer help her recover or have other resources to improve her health any longer. We see her oppening her eyes, tears in her eyes and small face movements and we feel she can hear us, but thats to the extent that we can get from her. Our mother has been a very sweet and giving person who always put her kids first. A homemaker that always took care of us. She put us before her own wellbeing. This has been a very difficult transition and it's a long road ahead. It's been a very difficult decision for us to make, she is being transferred to hospice care, and it isnt expected for mom to make it much longer. We do believe that god is watching over her and all of us and that things will fall into place. Thank you for taking the time to read our small story, and for any donation you are able to provide.
Bless and Love to All!
