Today I am doing something I did not anticipate on doing for a long time off from now. I am making funeral arragments for my 53 year old mother. I dont know what to say here or exactly what to do, I dont think ive ever felt more lost than I do right now. My mother did have a life insurance policy, but last Spring I was forced to surrender it in order for her to qualify to receive funds to stay in care where she was  We went from having $20,0000 to only $4,000- Which would be alot of money if it didnt cost an arm, leg and first born child to lay someone to rest.  She belongs with my family in our cemetery plots, she needs a burial. 

She was in a rehab/nursing facitility for physical therapy, she had managed to brake her femur. My mother was my world, we were a single parent household living off of section 8 and SSI until I became old enough to work. It's a sad story im really not going to share. Right now I need help, after surrendering my own life insurance policy for it's cash value, selling whatever I could and collecting all the change and loose bills I could find I'm still $3K short and have until September 10th to remit payment to the funeral home. I cant believe I'm doing this, but I dont have much choice. We've always taken care of our own, but it looks like this time I'm just not enough and I can't do it for her on my own. Please share and help if possible. I managed to round up $131.00 in change, so truthfully every penny helps.
