Struggling with Cancer - Final Expenses
Donation protected
I am a 72 year old woman, who was diagnosed with terminal Stage 4 Small Cell Lung cancer, the week before Christmas, 2024.
Due to the diagnosis, i was forced to leave my job at St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, here in Sarasota, FL.
Prior to my diagnosis, I have been very involved in volunteer opportunities, church activities, art and photography community, my senior neighborhood, family and friends. This has been a huge blow to me and those who love and care about me.
I live on a small social security check, month to month. I am struggling with my medical bills, especially without a job. Family and friends are helping out so much, with rides and meals and errands. My son is being incredibly supportive and helping me, in countless ways.
This brings me to the purpose of this request. I am very worried about not having the necessary financial recourses to pay my final expenses.
The funeral costs are $9,595. dollars. The cemetery charges with be approx. $14000. I am attempting to pay for the burial plot, myself, at a balance due of about $3000. payments will be made as soon as they are received.
Any assistance, at all, would be greatly appreciated.
