Donations needed for Carmela D'Ottavio's funeral expenses.

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who has reached out to me during this extremely difficult and heartbreaking time. To even be here writing this message is extremely hard to do.

Mom's passing came suddenly and completely unexpected which makes this even more difficult to navigate. Those who knew my mom would say she was the most kind hearted, selfless and humble people they'd ever met. She always put others first before herself and was never judgmental. She always saw the best in everyone!

As her only son, and as difficult as it is, the time has now come for me to honor her by fulfilling her final wishes. Unfortunately, she couldn't afford life insurance so all of her final expenses falls to me to bear. As embarrassing as it is for me to put my financial status out there, the truth of the matter is that I do not have the financial ability to honor her final wishes. The cost for everything it's more than I can absorb on my own. So, I am here to ask her beloved friends and family to please consider donating anything you can to help me respect mom's final wishes. I would be eternally grateful for any support you could possibly provide. Please keep me and my two boys (her grandsons) in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you in advance and I appreciate your consideration. May God bless you all!
