Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t like to ask for a thing and that I work hard. These past 3 months have taken a heavy toll on my family. My son took his life and my daughter, his best friend and myself found him. This has been the hardest and most difficult time for my family. Things seem to keep getting harder for us, between legal matters, bills and wanting to get him a headstone for his grave. The cheapest we have found is 3500 but with the add on it’s close to 7500. I work 2 jobs 7 days a week. At Cherokee nation I am covered by fmla but on the days I cannot manage to go to work I don’t get paid so I have had some short checks and my side job is a struggle at times for me to focus and I just need a break. I feel like I’m drowning . Every time a bill is paid it’s due again. I feel like I will never be able to get his headstone and could just really use some help, I absolutely hate to ask but I am not sure what else to do at this point . My daughter and I realized we were in shock and still are but the grieving hits us so hard now it’s unbearable. It’s a bad dream and I know my son did not mean to hurt us and was not in the right state of mind and was mentally pushed. My son loved everyone he knew and I have had so many people message me to tell me stories about him and working at Walmart being the phone guy and how amazing he was. He was truly amazing he just struggled with this cruel world. His funeral cost 13,000 . Cherokee Nation did pay a big part but we had to come out of pocket for a decent amount . If anyone is willing to help our family I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart , even if you could just share this it would help us and please keep my family in your prayers as none of us are handling this well at all.
