On February 15th, 2025, my mother Barbara Dunlevy lost her battle with the illness she bravely fought so hard against.

The following are the reasons I'm here today reaching out: My mother and I lived together since Aryanna was a year and a half old, and at that time, we both contributed to household expenses and the cost of living. My mom was working up until she became ill. Until that point, she was able to stay on top of all of her affairs. When her health began to decline, she was no longer able to take care of herself. When this transpired, we were met with many unforeseen obstacles and circumstances. Since that time, I have been lucky enough to have some support from loved ones, but bills have continued to stack up.

With my mother's life insurance policy having been canceled due to her illness, which led to her inability to pay, I'm left in a situation and have no other choice but to reach out and ask for help. I have missed countless shifts while trying to care for my family and keep up with being a full-time mother and all the living expenses. As I prepare to go back to work, I'm still scrambling to find a way to afford her arrangements, a memorial service, and burial.

My mother has always been there. She was an amazing mother devoted to her family and friends, and what better way than to give her the proper farewell she deserves!

As soon as I'm at the point that I can afford to make mom's arrangements, I will be posting those arrangements and I'm hoping that all of you will attend.
