Hello, First of all this is extremly difficult for me to write and ask for. I have been cursed and blessed with pride, ask anyone who knows me first hand. My mother very recently passed and she went in her sleep and very unexptededly, I am thankful for the way she went but not at the age she went. She was 68 years old and I wanted the world for her, she was a single mom and worked her whole life to give me one. I remember being a small child and staying with my grandparents 80% of the time, because my mother worked 3 or 4 jobs for years. She unfortently did not have any retirement plans and couldnt really save much. She was still working 40 hours a week for Menards as a cashier and was going strong and wanted to keep working unitl she hit 70 and then retired. Her goal was to retire and come live near me and her grandchildren. I currently live in Washington state and traveled back to visit my mom and be with her. Another beautiful suprise in disgise was I got to spend a full 4 days with her before she passed and I am so thankful for those days and that time. I could say a thousand beautiful things about my mother, but all you really need to know is she was the person to bring that positive, give you the shirt off my back attitude everyday, and I will miss her very much. The reason for reaching out through Go Fund Me, is she left behind a few big items and also with everything going on I have been laid off and my wife is our only income right now and things are at an all time low finacially. I would very much like to pay things down and get my mother creamated and a celebration of life ceremony for her. Anything would help and this again is very hard for me to even ask for, but my family and i dont have much right now and i dont know what else to do. My family and I appreciate anything and even if you dont donate that is ok as well I feel like even writing this out has helped me on a mental note, Thank you all and God Bless.
