My Mother's (Tracey J McGill) funeral, memorial

TL, DR: Hello, my name is Joshua and I'm trying to raise funds for my mother's funeral/memorial costs.

My mother [Tracey J McGill] unexpected passed away on Nov 1st, 2021 due to complications with organ failure and infections in her blood. Anyone who knew her would tell you that she could light up a room with her joyful attitude. She could and would strike up a conversation with anyone passing by. She always went out of her way to help those in need anyway she could. Whether it was helping clean, going to the store for you if you couldn't make it, or just being an open ear eager to listen to anything that's on your mind. She had a heart that would rival the grinch at the end of the movie when I grew 3 sizes.

Growing up without a father, I leaned heavily on my mother for everything. I was very close to her and she gave me the strength and courage to do so many things in my life. I always wanted to make her proud and do right by her. She was my mother and my best friend, we share so much of the same goofy and happy-go-lucky personality. I am who I am today because of her and honestly scared of my life without her.

Although she did make a few mistakes and poor choices. A few years ago I moved my mother across the country to live with me which got her away from an abusive relationship and saved her from being homeless. Unfortunately the abusive relationship found its way to following her and over the course of months to follow I drove myself into debt trying to care for her and get her back onto her own feet. This wasn't a problem as you do everything you can for your mother and I enjoyed having her closer to me (I joined the military right out of high school and haven't seen her much since). I have had to make a lot of difficult choices regarding her medical care, with a very heavy and grief stricken heart, ultimately taking the Hospice care route all within the span of a week.

The financial struggle has been an incredible mental strain added onto the trauma/shock of the last few weeks and any help would be immensely appreciated as we try to do what's best for her in her final rest.

Any amount donated will help with final funeral and memorial arrangements as well as assist me in recovering from the debt incurred during her care. As well as provide some mental relieve knowing everything is taken care of for her before I am set to deploy overseas and I will be able to begin to grieve and heal.

Thank you to anyone who donates and God bless!
