The only person that hates asking for help more than me is my mom. With the recent passing of my Nannie, also known as Mama Bird and to anybody on the phone - JANis JOHNson - we have been thrust into an unfortunate and painful situation financially. For decades, my grandma was led to believe that her funeral services were taken care of. Now that my mother is arranging the service, we have been informed by the powers that be that this was not the case and that my grandma and family have been deceived and misled. Although we absolutely hate to ask for financial support and Nannie would hate this scenario playing out as it has, we are in a position where we must ask for help.

If you could please help our family through this difficult and unforeseen situation, we - and Nannie - would truly appreciate anything you could offer.
