<div>Hello, my name is Jess (Jessica) Plant, and I am a daughter of Mary Plant. It is with deep sadness that I share the news of her passing. Mary was not only my beloved mum but also my closest friend and soulmate. As I grieve this incredible loss, I now face the challenge of organizing her funeral.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mary lived a life filled with resilience and care. Despite living with chronic illnesses and disabilities for many years, she dedicated herself to helping others. She worked as a housing officer and manager for the local authority housing department, a role she found truly fulfilling. Even after her health limited her ability to work, she continued to volunteer and take on part-time roles, focusing on reducing stigma around mental health, supporting disabled children, and helping older adults live independently.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Though my Mum was relatively young at 69, her health challenges led to social isolation, and our lives became deeply intertwined. She was my main support, and I was hers. Throughout her life, she gave so much to others, including me as her disabled child, always doing the best she could despite her own limitations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, I wish to honour her memory with a funeral that reflects the love and kindness she brought into the world. Unfortunately, the costs are overwhelming:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Funeral service: £3,700
</li>
<li>Newspaper notices: £240
</li>
<li>Flowers: £225
</li>
<li>Death certificates: £100
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While my primary goal is to cover funeral expenses as outlined, any additional funds raised here or elsewhere may be allocated toward related expenses or other needs, such as living expenses, memorial activities, and support during this time of transition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please only donate if you can, without it causing you financial stress. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden during this challenging time. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with your network would also mean so much to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who has shown kindness and compassion during this time. Your support and love are a source of strength, and I am profoundly grateful for every gesture of help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jess
