Please Help Me Lay My Mom to Rest

I never thought I’d have to write something like this. My heart is broken as I share that my mom, Lorraine Balon, passed away on September 4th, 2025. Losing her feels unreal, and the pain of saying goodbye is heavier than I can put into words.

On top of the grief, I am faced with the unexpected and overwhelming cost of funeral/burial expenses. I want to give my mom the goodbye she deserves. My mother loved unconditionally, was selfless, and my best friend.

I’m reaching out, humbly asking for help. If you’re able to donate, even just a little, it would mean the world to me. Every single dollar will go toward her burial at Chapel Hill Memorials and the funeral balance of $10,000. I am absolutely distraught over her unexpected passing. I have no access to anything for 30 days, and even after that, there will be barely enough to cover living expenses.

This was a last resort, but I'm very fortunate to be surrounded by such great friends and family. I am asking that you find it in your heart to help in a time of need, even with the smallest amount. I will be forever grateful. If you can’t donate, please share this or keep us in your prayers.

Love always,

Danni (Danielle)
