Help Nicole Galloway "Nikki" lay to rest peaceful

Donation protected
My mother was dealt a heavy hand since birth Nicole Marie Galloway "Nikki" was born with RP retinitis pigmetosa December 14, 1971
Hi, my names is Vanessa and I am the only daughter of Nicole Galloway and I, myself, have MS and is disabled as well. Her passing was sudden and painful for my grandmother and i but with a heavy heart I lost my best friend and Heaven gained another angel December 1st, 2023 she is no longer suffering nor in pain but was never allowed life insurance because she was born legally blind. This wasn't her ordinary ER visit she endured DKA from diabetes hospital thinks they overdosed her with opiods prior to her heartattack my grandma had to witness this. She was responsive with narcan but had to be ventilated because of Covid and tied down to the bed with 4 ivs all over her fighting & bruised tiny body that was retaining water and swelling up with blisters and black toes. All this happened within a week or so and I prayed for a sign I know she wouldn't want that quality of life a few days she then had a stroke and overnight deteriorated fastly became unresponsive and new CT scan showed a massive right side stroke that shifted her brain meaning she would be perm on a vent feeding tube etc. While blind. She told me what she wanted when the time came, and as hard as it was for me to sign that DNR and say goodbye to my mom i know she isnt in pain anymore or depressed and alone. She will always be with me and everything i do will be to make her proud at how well she raised me and what a great job she did with what little she had. My grandmother and I cared for her everyday and I've spent everyday of my life with her my mothers absence is going to leave an immense hole in our daily lives and our hearts. I would like to send my mom off the way she deserves and wanted without leaving me homeless due to finances. So, any donations would be greatly appreciated and go towards the cremation; and church service.
God Bless You & Be Safe.
