Ensure Amy Woolard's Peaceful Rest Next to Dad

Donation protected
Hi friends: I’m Amy Woolard. Many of you may know me as Ardena, or officially as Amelia. Here is my story regarding my need for serious funds at this time.

My mom had a burial plot next to my father's, who died when I was eleven years old. When I was in my mid-thirties and living in a place that housed mostly severely mentally disabled adults, she had moved to another state and made her plans to be cremated once she passed away. She wanted me to have the plot next to my dad. I was able to pay $25.00, which at the time (1986) was the cost to transfer the plot to my name. So I thought it was all set.

Many years later, in 2019, I purchased a life insurance policy and then called the cemetery to discuss that a burial place was much more than a piece of land. As things stand currently, I am about a year behind on payments towards my “resting place” next to my dear father. I had an annuity which was paying my premiums. The annuity ended in April of 2023, and I live in a nursing home and don’t have funds to pay back old bills. Maybe I was deluding myself thinking that I could have everything paid before the funds ran out. I need money to pay my burial insurance, or this loyal daughter may end up in “pauper’s field.” People, please help me.

Sincerely, Amy Woolard
