Help Shirley’s family with funeral and memorial

Donation protected
My name is Jessica. I am 32 years old. I am from Wisconsin. I am a single mom of two kids ages. 4 and 14. I recently lost my mother Shirley due to multiple sclerosis. She got diagnosed in 2001 and it slowly took over her body as the disease progressed. My mother passed away Wednesday, June 5, 2024 just two days after her 55th birthday. I woke up to my mother deceased on my daughter’s day of school .. I was my mother’s caretaker for the last 12 years.. I was with her full-time every day. My life became her life because I knew there was no cure for what she had.. multiple sclerosis is no disease I wish upon anyone, no amount of medication can subside the pain and the muscle spasms, the back burning, depression, side effects from so many medications, steroids, Botox, the constant headaches and multiple trips to the hospital and infection after infection I’m so sad.. I am an only child I have no family. I pretty much have no friends. My kids and my mother are all I know.. I have no platform to share besides Facebook and I don’t really have any close friends to help me share or to help donate. I need help with embalming and crypt placement, which is only $2100. She has a wall crypt space in the building at the cemetery next to her parents where she wishes to be placed. please, please please if anyone would like to help if anybody can help please everything is greatly appreciated I am so desperate I feel so helpless. Feel free to email me with any questions.
