Help lay my mom & sister to rest

Donation protected
My name is China. My mother Mary Gonzales age 57 passed away November 20th from Covid 19. She was a great mother, wife, Grandmother, Aunt, Sister and Friend. If you live in or visited southwest Detroit, you may know her from her flea market sales on Vernor & Livernois. She was a hustler, the backbone of our family. She looked out for anyone that she came across. If you needed it and she had it, it was yours. She had been in the hospital for a couple of weeks before she passed away and when they intubated her that's when her lungs got stiff the doctor said and she passed shortly after. My sister Chantell age 31, has also been in the hospital for the past couple of weeks. She was rushed to the hospital by EMS 2 weeks ago because her oxygen was low and she was intubated in the emergency room and has been ever since. The doctor called us today and told us they want us to let her go. It's only been 1 week since my mother passed and we are now preparing ourselves to plan a second funeral or a combined ceremony for my mom and sister. My mom wasn't one to ask for help, but this was very unexpected and with my job being seasonal, the holidays and 4 kids of my own, I just can't do it by myself. If anyone would like to donate directly to the funeral home, please message me and I will give you the address and/or phone number.  Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any donations made. I will keep this updated as needed. God bless.
