As some of you know, my mom was diagnosed with Stage IV, terminal lung cancer in October 2014. My mom is a non-smoker, so it was a shock to our family , and now , this cancer is about to take her life. These past months have been the most difficult and heart breaking experience my entire family has ever gone through, because my mother has always been the glue that held everyone together. This woman, my mother, has always had a heart of gold, and gives to everyone unselfishly. The day after she was diagnosed with this awful disease, while she was in the hospital, she said she was angry, and I asked her if it was because of the horrible news, and her reply was, "No, because I am stuck in the hospital, and wont be able to make it to the Bread of Life." The Bread of Life is the food pantry she volunteered in every Thursday, along with my step-dad. This woman just gave, unselfishly, her entire life, to her family, and anyone else in need, even though, she had very little herself.
Now, my mom is very close to the end of her life, she has days to weeks to live. I am her daughter, and I am beside myself, because I am a single mom, I work full-time, but don't have enough money to give my mom a proper burial, or cremation, when that most horrible day comes. I am going to try to do the best I can, but any donation, even a dollar, to help me give my mom a decent service, would be appreciated, from the bottom of my, and my entire family's hearts. We love you all, and thank you.
