Assistance with funeral expenses

Debbie Sandlin is not only one of my best friends but she is my sister from another mother.
Debbie would do anything for anyone and she does so without questioning how it would benefit her or without expecting anything in return. She would also not ask for help if needed and that is why I am here.
Debbie and her family are going through a very difficult time. Debbie's mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in October, 2016. They learned this when her mother was getting a chest x-ray prior to surgery to set a broken arm. At that time, they were told she did not have very long to live.
When her mom was released from the hospital in 2016, she went to live with Debbie's sister, Peggy,. Peggy has provided the day to day care for their mom since that time. She ultimately quit her job in early 2017 to provide her day to day care including getting their mom to necessary appointments, and also provide care for her other family members in her home.
Debbie's mom returned to the hospital on August 15 of this year when she began to exhibit symptoms that appeared she suffered a stroke. Debbie returned to Kentucky to be with her mom and family. That same day they learned her mom's cancer had metastasized to her brain.
Debbie's brother returned to Kentucky from his home in Missouri a day or so later and has been in Kentucky since then. Dwayne's wife and 6 year old daughter returned home so that his daughter could start first grade. Dwayne is the sole income source for his family.
Debbie stayed for several days and returned to Raleigh for 2 court dates and returned to Kentucky on August 22. She plans to be there for an undetermined amount of time to be with her mother and family during this very difficult time. Debbie is self-employed.
On Friday, Debbie's mom decided to discontinue treatment and return home. At this point, the family is unsure of the amount of time they have with their precious mother and, understandably, they want to spend as much time as they possibly can with her.
Even though their paychecks have stopped and/or been reduced, their individual bills continue and they also have the additional expenses for lodging, meals, gas and other incidentals while Debbie and her brother are in Kentucky.
Debbie's mom is worried about her "babies" being away from their jobs. Debbie is worried about her brother being away from his job. Debbie's brother has no paid leave and is not a salaried employee.
I want that time for Debbie and her family to be as special as it can be. I want them to enjoy the time together and not worry about the finances while they are away from their respective jobs.
All contributions made will be used to defray these costs and help make this time Debbie, her mom and her family have together less stressful and more special.
I know that Debbie and her family will be so grateful for not only the contributions made but also for well wishes, thoughts, prayers, positive energy, etc.
And, if you are lucky enough to have one or both of your parents, give them a call or stop by their house and tell them you love them, hug them a bit longer and spend some quality special time with them.
