Our Mom's Viewing Fund

Donation protected
Hello family and friends as you might already know my mother has passed away which has left alot of us distraught. She started feeling so much pain all over her body that she had to quit her job March of 2019. For the next 8 months I would take her to appointments. They said fibromyalgia, they said arthritis then she started having shortness of breath and couldn't find out why. Then late last year she was rushed to the hospital and was admitted for a month that's when we found out she had a paralyzed bilateral diaphragm. Her whole diaphragm was paralyzed. They did months of testing and couldn't figure out what caused this to happen. She was then put on oxygen and a bipap machine at night and was told she would be using it for the rest of her life. They suggested surgery but wasn't sure she would be able to get through it. We decided to get a second opinion and my sister Jeannette took her to Temple hospital in the beginning of this year, that's around the time she moved to Maryland, the doctors did their own testing and they finally found a diagnosis in February, she had ALS. We finally knew what caused her diaphragm to be paralyzed and  why she was getting weaker. It was happening so fast. She was not herself, her energetic, independent self. There's no cure. We thought we had more time but 6 months after her diagnosis she's gone. ALS took our Mom. I know she was loved by many she was the glue, the boss, she was fierce but helped many, many people. There's hole in many hearts. As for myself I feel like I will never be the same again. Feels like a part of me is gone and now my siblings and I have to plan a viewing in a few days. Just us that's all we have left. My mother passed away August 21, 2020 @ 4:29am in Baltimore Maryland at St. Agnes hospital. We want to have her transported to Allentown PA for the viewing we found a funeral home we like that will do it, with everything close to $10,000. We're a bit overwhelmed and would appreciate anyone who would like to help out. A few dollars, $5, $10, $20 would greatly be appreciated. I appreciate everyone who's reached out and gave their condolences I can't believe how many people lives she's touched. She will truly be missed. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY MOM ❤️ UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN ❤️
