Funeral Expenses for Our Mother

Our mother, Christine Cyckevic, has been battling cancer for many years, unfortunately these past few years she has been fighting consistent pneumonia and it has taken a toll on her body. This past month she has been in and out of hospitals and nursing homes fighting to be there for her children. Sadly,  she passed away at the age of 51 after years of fighting.  . She has been separated from her husband who is currently receiving chemo for pancreatic cancer in Florida.  Even though she has been sick for years it is sudden as most tragedies are. Unfortunately, we are struggling to finance the funeral and burial. Our family is small and her children are still attending school and working little after this tragedy. Our mother raised her children by herself, she was selfless, loving, caring and was was an amazing role model to her children. Her family wants repay her for dedicating her life to her family, she fought all those years for her children. The state gives a very little amount of money between 250 and $900 the average cost of a funeral is over 10 grand. Our mother was pretty adamant that she didn't want to be cremated and she deserves her wishes but without help it will  be difficult. We are all trying to take out credit cards and loans but we were  denied because of our student loans and  lack of credit history as her children are young. We ask for help to fulfill our mothers last wishes.
