For those of you who know me, you know, asking for help isn't something that comes easily for me. I've always been one who took care of anything life shot my way. But this time, I'm in a different boat. A devastating, exhausting boat. Where I have no choice but to ask for help. So here it goes.

After several years of declining health, my brother and I were informed that my mother Buffy Bieghler is dying. Since receiving the news we have been connected with Des Moines Palliative to make the transition to hospice, ensuring her last days are more comfortable and filled with love from myself, my brother, and her 6 grandchildren.

No matter the circumstances, no one is ever fully prepared for death. That is the case here, which is the reason I've created this GoFundMe Page. My mother is an intelligent, strong willed, amazing woman who unfortunately does not have an 'end of life' plan. Therefore, my brother, Joshua Bieghler has traveled here from Tennessee to help me plan it for her. My mother's dying wish is to spend as much time as she can with her children and grandchildren. We plan to assist her with her doctors appointments, help with everyday tasks around the house, help to research cremation and funeral services, and help get her out of the house to be able to take her grandchildren to do things, all while we are spending as much time as possible with her while she's still with us.

As time nears the end, the burden of costs are quickly adding up. It is with a heavy heart that I ask for you to donate to not only help my brother and I with the costs, but also to give my mother some relief in hopes we aren't left with the financial burden her passing will leave us with. Any donation will be appreciated, and helpful.

Thank you and keep our children in your thoughts as they go through this transition with us.
