Help us cremate our mother and support our family

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Jocelyn Sayers. I am the second oldest child of my family. For the last few weeks we have been preparing ourselves for our mother’s passing since she was recently diagnosed again with metastic malignant melanoma. She went into remission last year, but about a month or so ago we found out her cancer is back and it has spread practically everywhere. It is in her brain, stomach, liver, lungs, and hips.
She was in hospice for a week, came home, and now she is back in the hospital where her doctors are now very concerned and says she may only have a few weeks left.
Her body is very weak and she is so sick and unable to stay awake. We’ve been asked about which cremation services we are going to use since that time is near for my mother.
My mother, Wanda, has been the most loving & supportive woman to our entire family and friends.
We’re asking for assistance with her cremation services, past due bills, and to help care for our youngest sister who just turned 14 & our father who is also battling cancer as well as multiple other illnesses.
our father has been on a slow decline over the last few years and now both my parents require intensive care daily.
This has come up so fast for us, and we could really use the help of friends & family.
Our mother was truly our backbone our entire lives. We have so much to figure out and we are all trying our best.
These funds will go directly to her cremation services, to help pay the bills that are past due, and helping our youngest sister & our father stay financially afloat since my dad cannot work as he is disabled and my sister is still so young.

UPDATE: my mom has passed early this morning at 6:45. She is currently at the morgue and we are figuring out where to send her for cremation. This was so sudden and fast, we are currently at a loss to figure things out so last minute.
