Shelley's Funeral Fund

Donation protected
My sister Shelley had been fighting her battle with diabetes and kidney failure for sometime now. She faced some obstacles along the way and was always strong enough to pull through. She is once again facing a battle with her health and had been on life support for the past 2 weeks. She has suffered brain damage due to the lack of oxygen getting to her brain which has occured due to an on going infection. 

Sadly, we as a family are faced with making the toughest decision anyone would have to make, whether or not to remove her from the life support. 

My mom has decided to respect Shelley's wishes, which was not to be on the ventilator long-term and has removed her from the machine. 

Unfortunately she did not have any insurance which now leaves us to pick up the pieces and bare the burden of the final expenses during this tough time. 

We all loved Shelley very much and want to give her the funeral services she deserves. It would mean alot to us if we can all come together as family and friends to help out my mom in any way possible for the costs of the services. 

Thank you in advance for your donations, anything and all will be greatly appreciated!
