My name is Patrick Taylor, I am 51 years old, And I am about to loose my best friend and first LOVE. My mom.

Besides the strokes that left her left side partially paralyzed, and many other health issues ( brain and heart, etc) that she has been dealing with over the years, she now has stage 4 cancer, due to it being over looked by her doctors for some time ,( it started in her throat I heard, and that was a secret (because we guess she didn't want us to worry).

She has been in the hospital for a week and already had 4 blood transfusions because her blood level was a five due to internal bleeding.

We wanted them to do all they could, but the doctor explained to us even if they were to fix that problem, the main problem will still be there and we should be just thinking about just trying to keep her as comfortable as possible.And so they are looking for an hospice for her.

So now My older sister deneen, my niece keyter, and I are left attempting to raise some money so that we can respect her only wish, and that is to not be cremated.

And so Like most, we just don't have any money to cover the most basic funeral cost (especially here in new York).

She has no insurance and so this created the need for us to reach out to you. So If any of you can find it in your heart to donate, we'll greatly appreciate it.

I'm not the greatest writer, yet I hope this call for help is enough.

Thank you in advance.

The Taylor family.
