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!

The only way you're realistically going to be able to ask for that much money on this sub, is through a go fund me, so many people can contribute a small amount that adds up. You're probably not going to get 1000 dollars from one stranger. And 1000 bucks is a lot of money.

Hope you get this sorted out. Sorry for your loss.

No no I don't expect all of it!!! Even a little helps. I'm picking up a shift at a restaurant waitressing this week so that's something.
