Help Eric Fulfill Emily's Last Wish

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Eric Ward, and the son of Emily Ann Ward. my mother has been on a ventilator for seven days now and at 2:43 today the Lord called her home. my mother was one of the strongest women I’ve ever ever known. If anyone knows my mother was the only thing I had. My mother raised me by herself and it was just me and her. Me and my mother lived a hard life, but my mother done the best that she could feeding me, clothing me and have a roof over my head. My mother was diagnosed with muscle dystrophy at a young age in her life. Doctors told her she would be in a wheelchair by the age of 20 Well, she walked on her 2 feet to the day. The Lord called her home by the grace of God she never seen a wheelchair. my mother didn’t life insurance because the payments were outrageous with her heaven muscular dystrophy. Mama wasn’t able to work since she was diagnosed? We lived off her disability till I was the age to work. Told her when I got older I would look after her, well things changed as we all know. Everything has skyrocketed. We’re its hard to afford anything. With me having a family of three and a wife. I couldn’t take care of her like I wanted to, but I did always promise her because she made me promise her, I would’ve never have her cremated! an to make sure she had new underwear on an her teeth. Well guys I really thought ma was gonna to fight this thing. Because that’s what she was was a fighter. But she’s all her life, worrying about bills and me. It seem like every promise that was ever made to her. It was always broken. So I’m asking you guys for your help. I’m really embarrassed to ask, but this isn’t about me. It’s about making a promise to my mama. It would be a pleasure to let everyone know that I wasn’t the one that buried her because I had my friends and family and where the ones that didn’t break a promise to her because we buried her together! Any donation will be a blessing! Please help me Not to break that promise I made to her. I know it’s not y’all’s place but I was never expecting this day to come. Thank you all. God bless you all
