Help Fund Geri Castaldo-Boles' Cremation

Donation protected
Hello my name is lauren and im trying to raise money to help cover cremation cost for Geri Castaldo-boles a dear friend and family member. On June 3rd Geri went in for surgery to get a reversal for her colostomy bag, while still in the hospital recovering ( about 6 days later) Geri started feeling ill and told the doctors she was not ready to be discharged, after an emergency surgery it was discovered toxins were leaking inside of her body by then it was too late, even after attempting surgery to repair the leak . After emergency surgery Geri never came back from the damage that had been done. She also developed a blood clot in her arm after the second surgery and the first time the doctors tried removing the blood clot Geri had to be resuscitated two times so they stopped trying to remove the blood clot. 1-2 days later they removed the clot successfully, but Geri was still very sick. She fought so hard, but it came to the point where machines and medications were the only thing keeping her alive, and that is not what she wanted .Sadly Geri passed away on June 23rd after being taken off of life support, she didn’t have any burial assets or anything. We are trying to raise enough for her cremation and an urn for her to rest peacefully in. If there is anything you can donate we would be forever grateful, if you could also please share. Thank you so much.
