Paying for my mom's funeral

Hello everyone my name is Angelique, Holiday greetings

my mom, Angela,  was born with sickle cell anemia and over the past years, times were getting really hard when it came to health. after years of battling with heart failure, skin ulcers, and other discomforts caused by her sickle cell,  i'm sad to announce that she has passed away on Christmas eve, me and the rest of my family are so heartbroken. 

she was a loved mom, sister, aunt, and best friend who clicked with anyone she befriended. she was very silly and full of jokes, loved music and playing our cats, and mostly enjoyed hanging out in the summer. 

there were many health problems along the way but she always made the best of what she could do, and even though we're heartbroken and will miss her dearly, we are relieved that she will no longer be suffering from the discomfort of her diseases. 
 
as her only child, it has become my responsibility to set everything up in the next few days. 

I have been unemployed due to the current pandemic. I also have the new responsibility of being on my own for the first time and having to take on the full price of household bills and costs, along with having to pay for after-death services. 

the money I'm asking for will cover the burial, casket, transport, viewing, burial plot, headstone/grave marker, and other costs related to this unfortunate situation.

(I used this website to estimate how much I might need https://www.lhlic.com/consumer-resources/average-funeral-cost/)


since most funeral homes require payment before service, I will need this money as soon as possible. I will be in charge of all final expenses, and will greatly appreciate any size donation possible.
