Please help John pay for his wife Cindy's funeral

8 days ago my wife woke up and told me that her back hurt a little bit. Throughout the night and the following day she woke up and she was having a real hard time walking — it took it took almost a half an hour to walk one block. By the end of the day she couldn't even stand up or walk so I made it go to the hospital. The hospital did an x-ray they said that she had an abscess on her spine and that it was infected.

The following day it got so bad that the doctor said that she had a staph infection and that it got into her bloodstream and it got to the point where she couldn't even talk and a day-and-a-half later they told me that the staph infection had reached her heart and by the end of the day they was putting an oxygen mask on her. The following day they told me that it went into her brain and they had her on life support. 2 days later they told me that the infection was not only in her heart and her brain but it reached her lungs and not even a day later it's been spreading out through her body the doctors told me that they've done all they can do and that she's going to die and it broke my heart because they're talkin about the woman who gave me the best 10 years of my life.

About a year ago me and my wife used to talk about death and what we want to do if one of us have to pass and her biggest wish was to be buried with her mother in Massachusetts. The problem is we’re in New York, and I’m homeless, and on top of that I have to pay for her hospital bills because she don’t have insurance and I have no clue how much its gonna be but I know its gonna be a lot. But I'm going to do everything I can to try to see that her wish is granted because she deserves that. She was such a good woman to me, we've been together for 10 years and people don't believe us but we honestly never had one single argument we always work things out before it became a problem. She was my best friend she is my confidant. We didn't need friends we had each other and now I'm losing all that and as much as it hurts I have to try to hold it together right now so I can fulfill her wish.

Who would have thought that two weeks ago I was walking down the street with the love of my life happy holding hands laughing about everything enjoying life enjoying her company and 10 days later I feel like I had my whole life taken from me. The doctor said they don't know what caused it. They said sometimes abscesses just appear but this one was not a normal abscess this one was a killer in it taking my wife.

And I have to say this to everybody out there that reads this: cherish the person that you're with because I would have never thought this possible. I would have never thought that something like this could ever happen to me this was the kind of stuff that happens to other people it don't happen to you but now that it did I'm  so dumbstruck I really don't know what to say but I know that I have to fulfill her wish because she deserves that and she deserve so much more that I'll never be able to give her but I will give her this. Thank you God bless.
