Paulle  J. Morvant-Alexander 12/2/1947-1/4/2017

Paulle and I became friends in 1982 when she moved from Kalamazoo to Pontiac, MI.  She applied for a job as a telephone solicitor but she did not do very well so even though I really liked this woman, I had to tell her this job was not a good fit for her.  I invited her to step out of the phone room, I himmed and hawed then she said, "Are you going to fire me?" To which I replied, "Well, yes.  I am really sorry but..."  There she was smiling from ear to ear, "That's great! Now we can be friends!"  So from then on, we have been.

Over the past 35 years we have shared so much of our adults lives.  The good and the bad.  We have loved and lost.  Sometimes we had a little cash, sometimes we were broke.  We lost loved ones and comforted each other.  We shared the events of our lives.

Now my friend is at the end of her journey.  She has been fighting cancer for the past 2 years.  In early April 2016, the second battle began when the cancer metastatized to her lungs.  Paulle had chemotherapy every 3 weeks over 18 weeks.  In early September she was given the all clear.  No more tumors in her lungs.  Needless to say, we all did the happy dance and she started planning ahead.  She wanted to go back to work.  She had books she wanted to write.  She planned to attend Comic Con in 2017.  But...none of that is going to happen.

On December 8th she went to the Emergency Room and learned that the cancer has metastasized to her Brain.  In 3 short weeks Paulle has deteriorated to the point that she is lethargic, confused, and is not eating or drinking.  Today she was admitted to Hospice care.

Since her first cancer surgery in 2015, she has been on Social Security.  Her insurance is Medicare.  She has no life insurance or savings.  She has no close family left. 

She may only have days, at best a few weeks of life.  The funds collected will be used for Paulle's cremation, funeral, clearing out and cleaning her apartment, and any final expenses. 

She deserves to die with dignity.  She deserves to have her chosen final resting place.

i want to give this one final gift to my dear friend but I am not able to do it alone.  Any amount is appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story.
