My name is Heather, and I recently lost my mom, Diane, who passed away after a short time in hospice care. Diane was my only active parent and the person I turned to for support and guidance. She was a strong woman with a good heart, always ready to befriend anyone she met, no matter their background or circumstances. Her sense of humor and caring nature touched everyone around her, and she made a lasting impact on our community.

This loss has been overwhelming, both emotionally and financially. As a dog groomer paid on commission, I haven’t been able to work while caring for my mom and handling her passing, which means I have no income during this time. I’m planning a cremation and an urn for Diane, along with a day of service to honor her memory. The costs of these arrangements, along with my regular bills, have become more than I can manage alone.

I’m asking for help to cover the funeral expenses and to keep up with my bills while I take the time I need to grieve and begin to heal. Any support will go directly toward Diane’s services and helping me stay afloat until I’m able to return to work. Thank you for considering helping during this difficult time and for honoring my mom’s memory with your kindness.
