Lorraine was a loved member of the community who put everyone first before herself. She was divorced from an abusive husband and raised myself and sister all alone. All her life she had to live with disabilities, from a young age she caught TB, which when she recovered was left with meningitis which scared her brain with epilepsy. Growing up me and my sister had to become her carer due to further problems rising in life from a failed operation at St. James Hospital but it was the least we could do for her. Due to her ailments she was unable to secure any health insurance and she did not think she would pass away recently in St. James' Hospital for a minor operation, she seemed to be getting worse, she developed Pneumonia while in their care and she passed away on the 8th April 2019 at 10.05pm.

This was unexpected and left us devastated apart from losing our mother, both me and my sister now need to raise £4280 to cover the cost of her funeral. We are hoping for some support from anybody out there who can help us. We wish we could do this alone but being my mothers carers for years we always put her needs before our own first and want to make sure she has an amazing send off
