Help JoAnn McCrickard funeral and home foreclosure

My mother was on hospice and due a relative taking her life savings out of her home last year that was also her final expense money. .I'm cheryll McCrickard, I'm the last child of my mother JoAnn McCrickard's children. She is the toughest woman I've ever met. We thought what was a simple UTI out of control turned out to be told by the doctors they were sending her home on hospice with end stage renal failure. I have lived on her sofa since last July when she broke her hip and needed full time help. She has the roughest few years from hitting a telephone pole at 78 mph to stop her car that was out of control and continued to go faster so she wouldn't hurt anyone else.. She broke her left knee right ankle multiple ribs and her sternum bone.she had just removed her femoral to femoral bypass graft . So she no longer has any blood supply coming down around that leg-it was a miracle she survived it. I have been covering all of her expenses to the best of my ability but being the only caregiver 24/7 I haven't been able to bring in money to cover both households and now the home I've had for over 20 years is in foreclosure because I wouldn't leave Mom not even for a night.

She's always supported my dreams-from starting the first varsity softball team at Cedartown high in 1991 to college ball to my dream of shooting pool on the women's pro tour. We made history when she entered a Pro-Am event and once I got out into the losers bracket we had to play each other. It made one of the pool magazines. Everyone came to watch Mom in her late 70s play in the Nashville Music City 9 ball open. When I got sick and surgeries went wrong she 100% supported me playing poker for a living when I had to retire from pool. During a tournament we heard a new song and we paid someone to stand next to the jukebox and continue it over and over because I never missed a ball..we didn't even realize it was Kid Rock and Sheryl. Crown. On the way home she got me to stop at a Walmart and said I bought my first ever CD and it was a kid rock CD and she played Picture and Kenny Chesney w/ uncle kracker when the sun goes down on every road trip we went on and we instantly danced in our seats singing so loudly all through Utah..cali..Nevada..Arizona Montana, Idaho New York Jersey,DC, Maryland Virginia, Tennessee, Carolinas, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama , Georgia Louisiana,, those two songs instantly made our road trips better and happier. All she had wanted to do before the diagnosis was get to the craps table just like she she broke her hip last year she took out money to go for her birthday . And she hasn't made it back but that's the kind of woman she is. She has always helped others and passed that down to me

Gathering tents,sleeping bags, food ,etc for our local homeless. When my brother died of covid in 2020 she was beneficiary of a policy she didn't know about and said it didn't belong to her so she slowly donated it to multiple charities asking to not use her name. Selfless This woman is the kindest strongest lady I've ever known and anyone that's met her felt the same.she was never JoAnn to them-simply Mom.

I know money is right for everyone and some don't like go fund me but it is a very small fee they take out.

Everyone has over 500 Facebook friends. If everyone could donate just 5-10 dollars we would be able to properly care for her during these last days and ensure I'm able to bury my Mother which has given me everything. I don't have a way to come up with the money needed and all my family is gone . For just a cup of coffee could mean all the difference in the world right now. Please help my Mom get the care and funeral she deserves and I don't lose my home from taking care of her. Prayers are needed and welcomed. Thank you to all that have donated

In lieu of flowers please donate to help the funeral costs. She always said flowers never last. (When my brother David died in 1986-in one procession using all vehicles they couldn't get all the flowers to the cemetery. I told them to distribute the others to other families . Looking at the photos of the flowers arranged on the ground after I counted it would in 2025 be over 30,000 in flowers that just wilt. Who knows how much was left behind. It was amazing but could have been put to a scholarship fund or funds .or to help someone in need.)
