On January 16th we sadly lost our mum Jill Edwards to Breast and Bowel Cancer it's been a very rough and traumatic time for my sister and I as we are her only family and support here in Australia. In the past 6mths mum went through many tests and appointments which left us in much debt to pay back. Financially it's been hard, but making sure our mum is comfortable and as pain free as possible was always our priority. Sadly our mum spent Christmas and New years in hospital. She became bedridden and was declining fast. Then suddenly we lost our father over in England just a few days before Christmas which made it a very tough emotional Christmas for us all. We had to break the sad news to mum in her hospital bed and it was heartbreaking

Mum accepted it as Dad has been sick for a long time. But it was very hard for us all. We were extremely lucky to have an amazing cousin in Tina to help raise funds to give our Dad a funeral. In a time like this we were extremely grateful ❤️

Sadly our mum stopped eating and declined more and more. Eventually it was the inevitable to move her to palliative care near her home with my sister Veronica in the Blue Mountains. Our mum was there for a very short time and then sadly slipped away one morning My sister and I are emotionally exhausted from everything all at once but we need to prepare for mums funeral and cremation and give her the send off she truely deserves as the amazing woman who raised us in this world.

With all the medical fees, and tests and everything else this has hit our pockets and savings very hard. We have set the goal of our GoFundMe campaign high and just aim to do the best we can to get as close to our goals as possible. Personally I have a family and household to also uphold so I'm thankful to anyone who donates anything to our fund here. No matter how big or small the donation every dollar counts.

If you can't donate, please just share... We appreciate your support in these hard times ❤️
