Hello Everyone,
I’m reaching out in a time of dire need. My mother, Alice McBride, passed away on November 12, 2023, without insurance, leaving me with the overwhelming burden of funeral expenses.
I dedicated myself to caring for her while she was in hospice and had to downsize to a one-bedroom apartment afterward. Currently, I’m juggling three jobs: security at night, substitute teaching during the day, and dual-enrollment classes for two high schools. Yes, I am physically exhausted.
Despite my efforts, I’m drowning in financial obligations. I’ve fallen behind on rent, and my car is on the brink of repossession. I have $29,000 in credit card debt and $115,000 in student loans, both past due.
Above all, I need to settle my mother’s mortuary bill and fulfill her wish to be laid to rest beside her grandmother in our family plot in Alabama. The remaining amount needed to settle her bill is $1,600, and to send her home and to have her remains put away properly with a headstone would likely be around another $5,000. This act would provide closure for us all.
I created a GoFundMe account, and out of the 22 people who contributed, we were only able to raise $2,700 out of the original $4,300 goal.
Your assistance, however small, would be a beacon of hope in my darkest hour. Your generosity would not only alleviate my financial strain but also allow me to honor my mother’s legacy. I’m open to any form of support you can provide.
Thank you for considering my plea for help. Should you need more information or wish to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out.
