I'm raising money for my mom's funeral services. My mom's life insurance policy has not matured. Her policy had to be 2 years before she could receive money. My mom was only 1 year into her policy. This is why I need some help with her services.  My mom was a happy, caring and loving person who always had a smile on her face.  But also had a very difficult life to be as happy as she was. At 16 yrs of age she was hit in the head with a hammer by a boy she broke up with.  She survived and healed from that head injury. A metal plate was put in her head.  At 29 yrs of age she was hit by a van. Hit and run.  She then had to learn how to walk, talk, and live again.  Due to all that she been through she tried her hardest to prove doctors wrong. They said she will never walk again.  Years of hard work she was walking.   Due to all this medical history it was hard to get insurance. But last year she was granted insurance.  Only months later to have a stroke.  I believe a stroke.  Doctors could not give her a MRI to check for a stroke. Due to the metal plate in her head.  But all symptoms showed stroke. She could not move one side of her body and her speech was not there.  She then could not move anything from the neck down, she also started having aspiration pneumonia  and respiratory issues. She cried some days but smiled more days. I came home to clean my mom for the day 8/28/17 @ 7:30 am.  My grandmother almost 80yrs of age wanted me check my mom. My grandmother was afraid to check because she felt something was wrong. I came in and tried to wake my mom. There was no response. I  Called the nurse to come out and check, she said "my mom as passed." My mom was happy most of her life. She had set backs that put her down and she was happy. She fought through all storms of her life.  I'm asking for money to help me give my mom a proper service.  Anything is appreciated . Thank you so much
