Cremation for my Mum Maureen Stanley

Good day all, my darling mum, Maureen, 75 years of age passed away quite unexpectedly at Leratong Hospital in Krugersdorp.  The ambulance and staff were amazing. We are still reeling at the news that she is gone. 

 

My most immediate issue now is to Raise funds for thee most basic cremation service available, called a direction cremation or silent cremation. Which doesn't involve any guests. Even this, the lowest of their options Is unaffordable to me at this time.  We are looking at the range of R12500 upwards. Excluding other unforeseen expenses that may incur, price was given for the average size person, mum was deemed overweight when entering casualties. The mortuary also charges storage fees of around R300 per day, and as it has been a weekend and now public holidays those fees are adding to the debt also.  There are also fees for 3 doctors to examine her I'm told, transport etc. etc. I run two businesses, my main business is struggling, Dec and most of Jan are bad months for me.  

 

I just want to do right by my mum and have her cremated.  Please please help me it you can. Every tiny amounts add up.  My credit cards are almost maxed in just getting us through Dec and Jan.  Plus then there would be the huge repayment every month also.  I have also sold off all my furniture worthy anything and house hold goods of any value. I am truly stuck.  Any help or leads for my business would be appreciated so so much, I do generic printer cartridges. Mum was my rock and my whole world and best friend.  She lived with me for the past year and a bit. I just want to honor her and carry out her final requests.  Please please help me to do that for her?  We were selling off our things each month to get by but we had each other. 

She used to tell me that the "first" of everything when someone passes is the hardest, she was right, this was the hardest Christmas ever..... Such a wise, kind and loving mum.
