Support for a Loving Mother's Final Wishes

Honestly, at 26 years old, I never thought I'd be in this position. Going through a similar experience a few years ago with my father, I am now about to lose my mom.

About this time last week, I was leaving Tennessee after burying both my grandparents (my mom's parents). My mom, unfortunately, couldn't be there as we got the news that she was too sick to travel. With what we thought could be another year together, is now weeks at most.

I received a call from an ICU nurse this evening that my mom is now on a ventilator. She is in end-stage liver disease and is now going into renal failure as her kidneys are failing, and her ammonia levels are so high that she is unable to stay conscious or protect her airway.

I am not one to ask for help or do so this publicly. As the grief for my family continues, we are asking for help to be able to carry out my mother's wishes as she passes from this life to the next.

Her life has been a difficult one, and she deserved so much more than the cards she was dealt. I only wish that my brother and I can give her the burial services she deserves.

All proceeds will be going towards the cost of funeral services. We hope to be able to lay her to rest next to her parents.
