Amy Pastrana’s funeral

Donation protected
My mom Amy Pastrana has been suffering with leukemia for 7 brutal years now.. she has had a blood transplant and was in remission, but she caught GVHD which is a disease in which her blood is not accepting the new blood from the transplant. Her body was fighting the new blood and the GVHD was tearing her apart slowly. Starting with cataracts in her eyes to bacteria in her blood.. the bacteria spread too quickly and on top of that my mom wasn’t producing anymore blood cells and could not breathe on her own anymore.. She was not able to work for these past 7 years due to her condition and she still managed to keep a roof over her children’s head and food on our table, even though how bad she was struggling. She wanted her childrens happiness before her own& She was the most caring , giving and kind hearted woman I will ever know, and I’m glad I have so many of her wonderful traits to carry on for her. She has a heart of gold and was willing to do anything for anyone just to help. My mom didn’t have anything to leave for us so I’m just asking for ANYTHING to help pay for the funeral. Anything counts and means a lot.. I wish my mom could be here to see how many people have been showing love and support. She was a very loved woman that loved a lot of people.
