Funeral Expenses

Donation protected

A few years ago our mother (Martha). Was in a hit and run accident.  While crossing the parking lot of her apartment on foot, she was hit by an SUV. Knocking her to the ground, her head struck the pavement.  She didn't suffer any broken bones which was a miracle because of her osteoporosis.  At the time no evidence of head injury was present.  From that day forward she slowly deteriorated.  She started losing her sense of balance. Causing her to fall and break her right arm and right hip. She grew weaker and started having mental difficulties. From there she was diagnosed with sundowners. Then as things progressed she started having fainting spells, eventually passing out occasionally.  We had to place her in a long term care facility, because she needed more care then one person could provide. She continued to grow weaker as time passed. Becoming unable to walk having to use a wheel chair. Then from there becoming bed bound.  Her sundowners became full blown dementia, with loss of motor skills. Unable to perform the simplest tasks. Reaching the point she now occasionally forgets how to swallow.  Now the doctors say she has less then 6 month's. I'm seeking help with setting up her final arrangements.  Trying to get everything that needs to be planned in advance.  So we wont have to make important decisions made difficult by being emotional and irrational from grief.  It's difficult enough making those decisions right now.  Im asking for help with the expenses of her funeral.
