Diana’s Funeral Expenses

Sometimes life happens so fast the most expected events can still sneak up on you. My mother fought hard in her battle against cancer. January 2018 she said goodbye to her mother and the very next day was given her diagnosis. Cholangiocarcinoma. Even though she was so weak from her treatments she put every bit of her efforts to beat this ugly disease. On April 5, 2021, it was our turn to say goodbye to her. It has been the hardest and most challenging event in my life. I see it as her greatest victory. She is at peace.  No more pain and suffering. We were not properly prepared for a funeral.  Asking for help is so difficult. The reason I am doing so is to pay back my selfless grandfather who paid the expense so we could bury our mother properly.  I am trying to reach out to help repay him for his unconditional love and willingness to do what it takes to make sure his family is happy.  He is my rock and we are grateful to have him.  Any money raised will go to him directly.   This fund raiser is pay him back for funeral expenses.
