Mom's Funeral, Dad's Cancer Chemo Fight

Donation protected
Life is a wonderful ride, but also is a ride with so much pain that we could never imagine to experience. My friend Christy Garris is experiencing the toughest time life could have put her on trial. First her father was diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer, which he has been so close to give up, but Christy's love as a beautiful and amazing daughter she is and her family have been pushing her father to fight this awful illness that has caused and is causing so much pain to many families in this world. Then, 10 days ago, Christy's mother collapsed on the floor due to a heart attach and was taken to the emergency room immediately, but unfortunately fell into a profound coma that trapped her forever. For 10 days we have prayed for Christy's mom to wake up, to fight, and she has tried, some days there was not hope, some days there was hope. Christy has remained strong as much as she can as her health allows her, which at some point her body hasnt been able to deal with all this pain of watching how both of her parents are fading away, are saying good bye. Sadly, today one of those days that she fear the most arrived, God has talked to her and told her that it is the time to let her mother go, He has decided to take Christy's mom with Him. Despite this is not what Christy and her family wish for, they have took her mother off from the life support. The hardest decision that none of us could understand until we faced something like this ourselves.
Please, I beg to your empathy, your compassion, your kindness, help me to support Christy to give her mother the proper respect and honor of peaceful funeral to her mother. Please help me to give a chance of life to her father, who is also fighting for his life enduring expensive chemo treatments. No person should be worrying about expenses of this type when is the life of your parents, your children, your sibblings.
Please help me to help her! Christy's health is already delicate, she faces Lupus, and goes every day in this world with the strenght of a warrior to be a mother, a daughter, a friend I love with all my heart. She is the most noble person I ever known and doesnt deserve to feel so much pain like she is hurting right now. PLEASE HELP ME TO HELP HER!!
