Help Fulfill Carol Lou Erath's Final Wish

Donation protected
My mom Carol (the beautiful one in the middle of the photo) passed at the age of 79 just a few weeks ago. We ran out of time to really make things as right between us as we wanted. But I do believe she's in a happier place than she was here so that's the only thing keeping me going, ya know? She had tried to plan for this moment, working hard her entire life and paying her bills on time, doing everything right. The problem is that she wanted to be cremated, as I do. But we didn't realize that none of the policies she had faithfully paid for each month to provide funds for me to do this for her require a death certificate first to dispense the funds for cremation. And you need the money to deal with the funeral homes FIRST no matter if there's a policy in play. So I need to come up with at least $2100 to get the funeral home to pick her up from the coroner's office in order to be cremated. They do half the death certificate in Texas. I know this is alot of info, but this is the conundrum I'm in. I just want to do right by my mom who worked so hard and raised me to be a strong, smart individual...I think LOL. Everything costs money that I don't have. Oh yeah...3 days after finding out my mom passed, I lost my job of 6 years. When it rains it pours I'm aware. If u can help in any way I promise I will pass it forward. Nothing makes me happier than helping people and I'm not good at asking for help... But this time I really need it... For my mom. Carol Lou Erath was a beautiful soul and I want to be able to fulfill her last wish. Thank you for your time and even reading this. If you're not in a position to help ...I completely understand, but maybe you can forward this and someone can help just a little thanks for reading this. God bless you and your family!!! ,
