David's final cost

Donation protected
Yesterday June 3rd, 2023, approx. 1:30p ET, my oldest son David, 34, passed away due to complications from an 8-month long illness with his pancreas. He is now resting with our Heavenly Father. I am not financially prepared to endure the costs of cremating my son. I spent 8 months by David’s side in the hospital. I was unable to work as I did not want to leave my baby’s side.

David suffered a lot during the 8 months fighting for his life. After much thought Tuesday of last week, David made the tough decision to go on hospice. After talking to the doctor, we were told that he is in such bad shape on the inside that the outcome was sadly going to come to an end. David did not want to prolong all of this. He was mentally tired and in pain, and his poor body was tired as well. He had an infection in his abdomen that he had not been able to get rid of. He was on heavy antibiotics for months, but it was not helping as far as clearing this infection. His pancreas was dead as well. He had a hole in his stomach that leaked into his abdomen, so to keep him from getting septic he couldn’t eat for several months. He had lost so much muscle mass that the doctor said his bones were becoming brittle. So, with all that David had decided to come home Wednesday and be on hospice. He wanted to be home with his family to live his final days. Sadly, today my baby gained his wings and is resting peacefully, free from pain. I am so lost. I do not know what to do.

I am reaching out to my Family & Friends and anyone else that might be compelled to help. I need to cremate my baby asap and unfortunately, I cannot do it without help. Please, if you can donate it would be kindly appreciated. If not, please keep my family in prayer.

Thank you in advance for your donations and prayers.

David, I love you and you will be missed dearly.
