Final Expenses for Darla and Edward Chandler

We all know someone special in our life that has had to bear the pain of hearing those dreaded words... "you have cancer".  That someone special was my mom, or as others know her... Darla Mae, Aunt Darla or Grandma.
My mom is an amazing woman who has always put everyone else before her, been the rock of our family, and the "other mom" to so many children.  For over 30 years my mom opened her home to numerous children everyday, giving them a home away from home.  She started an in-home daycare when I was very young, but unfortunately had to say goodbye to her passion almost 7 years ago when her battle for cancer began against ColoRectal Cancer.  The news would devastate her and our family, but also our large extended family(basically spread across the United States). As we all tried to cope with this drastic change in our lives, she never stopped fighting and continued to stay the foundation and rock of our family.   She loved her Brahmas, Beavers, Astros, Spurs and Cowboys!
Over the years, she tried numerous chemotherapies and radiation, but unfortunately the cancer continued and spread into her lungs, liver, various places in her lymph-nodes, and most recently her brain.  As a result of the swelling tumors on the brain and the radiation treatments, she was no longer able to walk or move around independently. This resulted in a very difficult decision for my family to make, but it was decided that she required one last trip to the hospital in Floresville to get more comfortable.  We had planned on moving her back on Monday to begin hospice so she could make it to her last and favorite holiday, Christmas.  Obviously, GOD had other plans and she passed a way in her sleep with no pain on 22 December 2019. No words can express how hard this has been on them, or anyone in our family.  "Grandma's house" will never be the same. 
As we are learning how to stay positive through all of this,  and make the most of every moment, the financial burden is also a topic of conversation... money, bills, and numerous expenses. 
My parents worked so hard all of their lives, gave my siblings and I an amazing childhood but were always categorized as that middle-class income.
Married for 37 years and on a single income, Edward and Darla didn’t have a large savings account or plentiful bank account, especially after losing my mom's small if any  income and replacing it with the countless doctor's bills and endless medical expenses.  Words cannot express the thanks for those of you that brought meals for my father and mother. They have never reached out to the community and asked for a single dollar- it was not their way.  

This is why I have chosen to reach out to you,          whoever you are out there reading this, and ask if you would be able to donate anything at all. Once the cancer was diagnosed life insurance had not been setup, only a small burial  plan  and  no future help for my father would exist with expenses....loss of work etc...No donation is too small, and in return you'll know that it will help out my parents, who have always helped others at any cost to them. If you can’t afford to donate please share our mom’s story by forwarding this and maybe her love will spread to as many people and lift them up. Finally, if you're reading this as a family member or family friend, please know that we are so grateful and appreciative to the special acts of kindness that we have already received. You are all in our prayers!
