Help with our beautiful moms funeral cost.

Donation protected
With so much hurt in our hearts and as much as we didn't want this day to come, it has and it came faster then we thought. On 2-25 our Mom Cindy was brought into the hospital. She declined over night and woke up that morning not knowing any of us. Not even her husband of 40 years. The doctors have told us this is the last stage of life before she leaves this earth and joins her mother, family and friends in heaven. As you all know our dad has had multiple back surgeries and was told no more work, however that didn't stop dad from getting out there and doing what needed to be done for mom and his family. Dad has always been the provider in the family. When mom first got sick with cancer they were barely getting by but they made it work. The sicker she got the less dad could work and about 6 months ago is when construction work stopped and nursing began. I can't count all the nights dad stayed up just making sure that mom didn't stop breathing, the days he'd stay awake attending to her every need and I mean every need. He bathed her, he carried her to the bathroom, the car and any where else she needed to go, he kept up with her medicines when her mind started to fade away, he was her personal taxi for every appointment. Dad never got the chance to take everything in. He never got to take the time to break down, to process that the love of his life was leaving this earth and he wouldn't see her again until he got to heaven. Yesterday mom woke up not knowing anyone. She wouldn't let dad touch her, she kept denying it was her husband and it finally hit dad. I've never seen him so broken, so lost and at the same time still so strong. The doctors have told us that our sweet mom, a helping friend, the goody making lady, the best maw maw, and the wife of 40+years to dad would take her final and last breath in this hospital. This is the final stage of her life before she leaves this earth and heads to meet the man above, she'll be greeted by her Sweet mom and all the other family and friends that are currently waiting on her arrival. We are asking for help for our dad, Dwayne to take some of the stress and burden off of him when he is planning the funeral. As a lot of y'all know mom and dad took in Izzy and Mya and has raised them both for 10+ years. They took in Cody and has also raised him and turned him into an amazing young man but through it all, they barley got by financially. There isn't a savings account for a funeral, there is no life insurance there's only a man that has no clue how to afford his wife's funeral. So please if you can donate at all it would be a huge help, as his daughters we want to try and help with one of his biggest concerns and fears. If you can't donate, please say a prayer for my dad. He is losing his one true love, the women who has got him through life. As of 2-26 mom is still currently here, the doctors have said there isn't much time left, so I'm trying to prepare as much as I can over the next few days. Thanks so much for taking the time to read. If you would like to donate another way please reach out to me. We will keep everyone updated over the next few hours or days.
