REQUEST Funeral costs

Hi all! So, my mom died last week and now the funeral home is calling which is the last thing I want to deal with at the moment due to... obvious circumstances. But I don't have much of a choice. The holidays are the worst time for funerals, and I hate even making posts.

My job (school lunch lady) doesn't pay me for the two weeks off I get from winter break, so that's a check gone.

Anyways, I don't have enough money, nobody in my family is willing to help pay for it bc they didn't really like my mom.

The cremation is 1700, I have 700 of it. And obviously I don't expect to get all of that from a reddit post but ANY help is appreciated.

Post here when you’re able to make a gofundme page.

I'm just seeing how this goes for the night, if nothing happens then I'll make one tomorrow. I don't expect anything from anyone, since ik this time of year is hard money wise on everyone!

You really need to make the GoFundMe. People like to see if other people have contributed. This woman posted a request the other day that I offered to cover but then I saw there were multiple people who also sent it and i wasn’t informed. Kind of rubbed me the wrong way but I’m sure the person needed it.

Oh yeah I get that!!! Usually, if I'm offered or anything I say thanks in the post!!! Sometimes. Unless asked otherwise. But I do change the flair
