I'm devastated it's come to this but I've run out of options. I know so many others are suffering. But my sweet, wonderful, utterly nerdy mother- who was the caregiver for my father with dementia- has suddenly died. Her pension was their only income.

I've already spent everything I have on flights getting here, the cremation, my dad's medical costs, their debts, and keeping the lights, water etc on. I've lost my job over this. 

Until I can sell their home I have no way to buy food, pay the utilities, buy gas, buy my dad's medications... I also need to hire someone to haul out the couch she was sick on. I won't go into more detail on that. 

We just keep getting hit with one unexpected expense after another. Covid is making everything more complicated, too. I'm alone in this and so overwhelmed I haven't even had a chance to grieve yet. 

I hate hate hate to ask but I just need enough to keep us going a few months. 

Thank you for looking.
