Support Our Family in Covering Funeral Costs

Donation protected
Hello family and friends,

I am raising money for funeral costs for my mother. A little over a week ago, she had a stroke leading to a brain bleed, and we lost her today on Saturday, 07/19, after she tried so hard to hold on. This has taken a huge toll on our family, and it was unexpected. She leaves behind my dad, brother, myself, a grandson, and a granddaughter who will be born in the next few weeks.

I will not lie - we are struggling to afford funeral costs for her. We don’t know what to do and really ask that if you can contribute anything, please, please do. This is an incredibly difficult time and hard loss. We just want to be able to give her something, so we can always honor and remember her. Even if it is cremation, we just want to be able to give her a place to rest.

She was an incredible person, always so patient and supportive of those around her. She loved her children more than anything, and her grandson was the light of her life. She did everything for him, even when she didn’t feel good. She dedicated her life to helping others, working with children and the elderly alike. She always tried so hard to be there for us in any way possible. There is a huge hole left in our hearts, and life will never be the same. Losing a parent is the hardest thing in the world. The emotions we are going through are immense, and the suffering I feel now is a lot. I just want my mom back, but I know it will never be the same.

Any little bit counts. Thank you so much for reading and donating.
