Support Sherrie's Funeral and Burial Costs

Donation protected
On March 5th, my mom Sherrie went in for an extensive surgery on her jaw. It had been broken in the past, and her body was rejecting the metal plate that was put in. For the surgery, they did a bone graft from her leg and inserted it in her jaw. It was a 10-hour surgery, and she had to stay under anesthesia until the next day. The surgeons did a great job. Unfortunately, she had underlying health issues that were unable to be accounted for. She had been fighting hard to recover since then. But there was so much going on, such as lung, kidney, and liver failure, and her blood pressure kept plummeting. She coded a few times and had to be resuscitated. She ended up getting an abscess in her abdomen, and due to circumstances, she was not a candidate for the surgery to fix this. Due to this and multiple organ failures, she passed away early this morning, April 17th.

Unfortunately, she did not have life insurance, and we are struggling to pay for funeral and burial services. I have a funeral home that is working with me and will let me make payments, but I need a little more than half up front. If you are able to help out, it's appreciated more than you could know. Helping can mean a donation, which is amazing, or even just sharing this page so maybe someone will see it that can donate. I send thanks to everyone that has shown love and support during this difficult time. I feel so broken right now, but all the support means a lot. Thank you.
