My family has suffered a pretty tragic loss this week. My mom, my hero,  had surgery on Tuesday 11/17, and succumbed to complications to that surgery Friday morning 11/20/2015. This unexpected loss has hit our family hard and has left us in some financial distress trying to figure out how to pay for everything involved with a funeral. Personally, I’m not the type of person to reach out and ask for help. I can usually figure out how to get things done on my own, but this situation is something my family and I are unable to handle on our own.
