Hi my names sammie and I’m 19, my mum Kim 51, unexpectedly passed away 3 days ago and sadly i can’t afford for an average funeral which is around £4.000 and especially within these times I’m currently out of work and already in debt. My heart breaks as after her giving me all she had in life i can’t even afford to give her a decent send off so any donations would be appreciated so so much. Thanks for taking this time to help me i will be forever thankful of all the help. thank you!

Beginning back in March, I had lost my job and taken to being an independent contractor in the gig economy to try and make ends meet. At the same time, my father had started losing weight, complaining about not feeling well, and started becoming irrationally angry. I would constantly talk with him, bringing up that he should go see a doctor. He would always decline. These conversations continued until late May, and by early June he had stopped picking up his phone.

In June, he had become angrier, spending most of his time in bed. I had taken to stopping by his home each day to take care of his animals as he was very rarely up and moving. On the rare times he was up and moving, he was moving unsteadily at a shuffle. Compared to his ability to walk, talk, and drive just a few months earlier, it was a stark contrast. He could barely walk, and no longer drive. The food in the refrigerator was left untouched, slowly molding. Still, he refused to seek out help.

On July 22nd, one of his neighbors called the non-emergency police for a wellness check, as he had left his dog out while my father had fallen asleep. He was responsive, and EMS did a vitals check. But, he was spending more and more of his time sleeping. If he wasn’t sleeping, then he was complaining about how unwell he was feeling. It was at this time he finally decided to make an appointment to see a doctor for Monday, August 3rd.

I arrived at his home on the 3rd to take him to the doctor. He complained more about not feeling well, and refused to go his doctor’s appointment. That day I told him I was taking his dog to make sure that she would be cared for. I also tried speaking with him about whether or not he had a will. After a thorough search of his home I have decided that he was not aware of the questions I was asking him anymore.

On the 5th of August, I stopped by again. This time to do some light cleaning around his home. Around 3:30 in the afternoon he tried twice to stand from his bed. He fell each time, with his lower jaw looking as if it was trying to retract into his neck. I brought him a cane, told him that I loved him, and then went to the neighbors to inform them that I didn’t believe he was going to be living much longer. They, again, called the non-emergency police line. The police showed up a little after 4. My father was unresponsive. EMS quickly followed the police, and confirmed that he had passed.

Since then, I have been unable to keep my bank account in the positive, my credit cards are currently maxed out, I am unable to pay his mortgage company to keep his home from being foreclosed on, and I have been unable to take care of any bills. Thank you to whoever can help me. I feel like I’m drowning in sorrow and debt.

My sister whom has loved on Oklahoma for the past 20 years has recently died due to asthma. She died at home while her children were there in the early morning hours on May 31, 2020. It has been tough on everyone. She was only 32 years old with a 13 year old son and a 10 year old daughter.

It is especially hard on my family because we are trying to figure out a way to bring her body back to Arkansas my home state from Oklahoma. The funeral director says that it will be $2,700 to do so. She did not have any life or burial insurance and the family does not have that kind of money. It hurts me deep to know that I can’t help my sister in her passing.

This is why I am posting this because I am literally begging as this is my last resort. I am asking for $3000 to bring my sisters body home to have a proper funeral and to bury her in the ground. Any donation will help. Please open your hearts because tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Love on your family and tell them that you love them everyday. I never got the chance to tell my sister that but she knew I loved her unconditionally.

Asking for help to obtain $500.00 or even fly miles to Indiana from Florida.  For Plane tickets to make it to a funeral this week for myself and my 12 yr old daughter.

I just moved to Florida from Indiana with my children and I just received news that my best friend of 35 years just lost her son, he was battling depression that nobody was aware of, he had went to the hospital earlier in the morning for stabbing himself, and was released home due to covid-19. A few hours later he began stabbing himself in the neck,heart,and other places. The police showed up and he was mentally unstable and things escalated and they shot him 5 times and he died. I helped raise this little boy he was 21 years old. My fiancé of 7 years committed suicide in 2016, I sympathize deeply.  I have done public speaking for mental awareness and suicide prevention. However, with that said, I know my best friend, and I know right now in her mind she has nothing else to live for. I desperately need help going home for the funeral and to possibly see my best friend one last time. The monies is for a plane ticket and or car rental. whichever I can obtain first. I must take my 12 yr old daughter with me and that’s why the amount is more then it would be if traveling alone. Im grateful for any help and I am embarrassed to ask for it, but I have no other option. This means a lot to me. Thank you in advance

Funeral is for Spencer Calvert from Portland Indiana. Incase anyone wanted to verify my asking of help. My oldest daughter is 20. She lives back in Indiana with her boyfriend and she isn’t taking the news very well either. I understand the magnitude of help Im asking for, but I am at a rock and a hard place at the moment. I thought renting a car would be better, but they want a major credit card and I dont have one.

Anything Helps!!

I just want to start by saying thank you to anyone who is willing to help my family and I in this time of need. We greatly appreciate every bit of it.

On August 4th my husband got a call from one of his family members stating that his father was in the hospital on life support. They weren’t sure what was going to happen from that point. All they New was Anthony (my husband) needed to get to Indiana ASAP. We live in Texas. Already we knew this trip was going to cut us very short on money. He is the only one with a steady income and we have three small children at that. I stay home most of the time unless I can get a baby sitter and go do a house cleaning. Which is very random for me to get. It took us 12 hours to get to the hospital from home. We checked into our hotel room(which was just a hotel 6) so not much. We went up here on our last dime. We were there for 2 weeks on the money we had saved up for emergencies. Trying to figure out what the family wanted to do. Anthony being the only child was to soul decider on if he wanted to pull his daddy from life support or not. Consulting with his family. Everyone came to an agreement to go ahead and do so. Very hard decision for him. Nobody wants to see a loved one in that position. Ever. But his dad wasn’t going to get any better. He was suffering from bone marrow cancer and his liver was not doing good also. He was also brain dead from dying and being brought back to life. So with the decision made. He had him pulled on August 9th. His dad fought a hard day before he went to be with the lord. May god rest his soul.

Being such a bad running in everything we had to borrow the money for his funeral expenses. This put us behind and now we owe the person we borrowed from. I’m not asked no for anyone to feel sorry for us but to just help with what they can in this dire time. We literally put everything we had into this funeral and now we are struggling to catch back up. All we are asking for is 10,000 dollars. I know it’s a lot but that’s all we need to pay back this best and get our heads above water. It’s hard having 3 small children and only one steady source of income so please if you can help. That’s all I can ask! Thanks you very much for your time.

I am 35, and I’m drowning in debt.

I lost all three of my grandparents within a 3 week span last August. They hadn’t really prepared for any funeral costs, as most in our family are very long lived, so we all thought we had years yet. Sadly, we didn’t. I had been working on my credit score, so I’d gotten a few credit cards in my name for the first time ever, and used those to pay the costs associated with the burials, or as much as I could.

I’m on disability, and a member of a disabled family. While this was all going on, my aunt was put in the hospital for a flesh eating bacteria infection. She eventually lost both her legs above the knee. My mom has had three bouts of cancer- Kidney, Thyroid, and Lung. Thankfully, they’ve both pulled through, but with Medicaid as our primary insurance, there are a lot of medical supplies that weren’t covered. I’m a loving and dedicated furbaby owner. She has had recurring bouts of a UTI, which cost me $250 each time to get the tests done and treat them, but I scrape the money together because I cannot let her suffer. I’d rather go hungry and without, myself.

I had an emergency gallbladder surgery last week. The portion that Medicaid won’t pay is $4,000, because I was transferred from the first hospital to another, since my original stomach surgeon worked at the 2nd hospital and everyone felt it was best that I remain under his care as he’d treated me before for ulcers and Ulcerative Colitis. Since the first hospital could have done the surgery, but I ‘elected’ to be transferred, they aren’t paying for the bed and tests from the first hospital. The doctor on staff had never given me the choice, or I would have remained there.

Every time I think I’m starting to get ahead, something else happens, and I have to stand up and save my family again. I just want to not cry myself to sleep every night, wondering how I’m going to afford the next month’s bills. I make $700 a month on disability, and right now everything goes to the bills, but I still can’t get ahead because my interest rates are sky high. I make so little that no one will approve me for a debt consolidation loan.

My current bills are $9,000. I’ve managed to get it down to that from the $12,000 it was when I started, but with the new hospital bill looming over my head, I’m officially at rock bottom and can’t fight anymore. I hate begging for help, but at this point, I just don’t know what else to do. Thank you for anyone who reads this and might be able to spare a little help. Once I’m back on my feet, I intend to pay it forward in whatever ways I can.

In late 2018 my mother in law was diagnosed with T-Cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia (T-PLL), which is one of the rarest and most aggressive of all known forms of Leukemia known to date. Even with all odds against her, my mother in law battled and fought as hard as she could. Even on her worse days she continued to hold her head high, have faith, and continue fighting. At first, after being diagnosed, all her treatments, procedures, and steps required to defeat this disease seems to be going exactly as the doctors were hoping and things were looking positive. She had found a donor for her bone marrow transplant and all her test results were exactly where they needed them to be to move forward with the procedure. Due to a scheduling conflict the appointment had to be rescheduled for the following week and in those 7 days her test results sky rocketed and the transplant was canceled. The original chemo she was on had stopped working and from that point she began trying several different kinds of chemo, which came along with roller coasters of rashes, swelling, side effects, misery, and in her case an extremely bad allergic reaction. cause a including Chemos that had not even approved her specific type of Leukemia but she was running out of options and time and never stopped praying for a miracle.

Unfortunately, Wilma had developed an extremely severe rash all over and everything from that point took a turn for the worst. Within a weeks time she went from normal everyday life of walking, talking, breathing on her own, etc. A couple days later she was needing her oxygen more frequently, losing her voice, needing her walker to assist her getting around, and so on. Little did I know over the next few days that followed she would get even worse. Within the short time period of a little over one week the cancer had completely taken over and unfortunately, Wilma Jean Lindday, at age 52, lost her battle and gained her wings home on June 27th, 2019. Along with the loss and grieving, the family has tried to come up with the money to bury her and give her the funeral she would hope to have and we feel she deserves. It has been nearly a month and my heart breaks not being able to lay her to rest over money. I am asking everyone to take a moment and imagine if it was your loved one just stuck, laying there in the hospital because you couldnt afford to have her buried. I’m begging, please, any amount counts and all the prayers are appreciated through this difficult time.
