I don’t like doing this for myself. But I am desperate. My mom passed away suddenly yesterday after she went into cardiac arrest from a heart attack. I pray it was fast, and she didn’t suffer.

Being that I was working and in school full time she was helping care for her 3 grand babies. Unfortunately, I’m not sure what will happen with school yet, but I hope I can somehow figure out a way to finish Respiratory Therapy school. She told me she was proud of me and I know she would want me to finish, she was so happy for me. Still unsure about how I will even figure out working either.

With that being said, my mom had no money for any services for her, not even her cremation. Our current season of life doesn’t leave us any option to help cover the cost. I also have to be off work for a while to handle things and because I have no current child care. For anyone that knows us and what our family has been through for the past two years, we are still getting caught up on insane ICU and NICU medical bills. And Margaret and I still have appointments and bills to come.

I also have to handle this all on my own being her only child. And tomorrow I have to go tell my 91 year old grandmother that we have to bury her only living child as she has already buried my aunt and uncle.

Which also brings up my desperation. I am the only one now to care for my grandma and she doesn’t have a lot of money left either as her memory care facility is pricey.

Any help you could give us would be appreciated more than you will EVER know.

It will help our family say goodbye and give her a proper burial. And will help keep us afloat a little while I sort this mess out.

Hold your loved ones close. Say I love you.

They could be gone tomorrow.

We will be doing just a small family viewing before cremation. Celebration of life TBD.
