Unexpected Funeral Arrangements for my Mom!
Donation protected
I'm Jessica Keeton, Tammie Stambaughs youngest Daughter! It is with a very heavy heart, I announce the unexpected passing of my mother! The mommy in the picture, that's the mommy I remember! I'm feeling a million different emotions right now! Sadly my mom has spent the majority of her life battling addiction! I've tried so hard .....since I was a little girl, toooo help her! I once told the drug dog at school, thinking it could help me save her! I thought if I could just live with her ( I was taken away as a baby) that I could help her? I could fix her? Maybe I would be more important? Maybe she would give it all up for me? Maybe She would stop because .... she needed too take care of me? I prayed for her everyday & everynight ... but it never worked. I have watched my mom slowly lose her battle to addiction my entire life! This year, I tried soooooo hard to have her put in a facility for her own safety but no one would help me! Not social services, primary care dr, or the hospitals she was in & out of ....for breaking her hip repeatedly. I had a warfare check done! BUT her southern charm convinced the officers she was fine... so they just left. She was pretty angry with me, for having the walfare check done! BUT it was the right thing to do! My mom, had epilepsy so she was unable to work! Which made her only source of income ssi! I'm asking everyone that cares about my mom, or me..... to please consider donating to help me cover this major expense! Please! I never expected this call! I was blown away when I spoke with the Firecheif!! I don't know what to do, & I don't know how I'm going to make this happen! Unfortunately, I don't have an emergency 10 grand! Not many people do... this isn't the way that I wanted to lose my mom! Nobody knows for sure how she died but I'm pretty smart && I can put two & two together from what I've been told! My mom had a wonderful heart, and she was a great person, but addiction outweighed everything and everyone in her life. Please help me lay my mom to rest, I've cried all day, because I feel so guilty for not doing more... irregardless she still deserves to have a funeral and for everybody who loved her.... too be able to say goodbye to her properly! She attended church as often as possible with my Mamaw Tamera, She read the Bible, & she believed in god. She was convinced she was getting her wings soon from what I've seen on fb. My mamaws birthday is July 4, (her mom) and now...she has to bury her baby...... she has spent her life trying to help my mom beat this addiction.... & raising me simply because my mom couldn't! I feel so much sadness for my Mamaw and my mom sister, Amy! They really got to experience life with my mom before addiction... so they have this unbreakable bond with her! Please help me, help them lay her to rest!
