Story
So I have no idea where to start and never done one of these before but here goes.
My sisters and I have just found out our mums passed away. Alot of people will know what my sister's and I have been through with our mum over the years resulting in being in foster care and stuff because our mum took the wrong path in life but we know she loved us deep down but she found life difficult and has been fighting her own demons over the years and has had to live life knowing she failed her 3 babies which I know she never forgave herself for but still she didn't have it in her to make up for this because she didn't have the strength.
We absolutely love her to bits and we always hoped and prayed that one day we would have the good mum back we knew she could be because deep down she was a soft hearted woman and loved us so much just unfortunately she had a very hurt troubled mind and severe mental health issues which killed our mum along time ago and has never been the same since.
But although our mum wasn't there for since we were children we still love her and want to give her the best send off we can after all she is our mum. As anyone knows funerals aren't cheap and my sisters and I need a helping hand to get some funds together so if anyone could please help even if only 5 pounds. Any help would be truly appreciated.
Ifnyone remembers our mum the woman she was before drugs and mental health issues you'll know what a good woman she truly was and had a heart of gold but when she lost her mind through drugs we lost her completely. Also she was good loving mum to my sisters and I when we were little but she lost her way and never found her way back.
Our mum passed away from choking on her dinner. A rible freak accident way of dieing 😭

7 years agoThank you all for your donations. Our mum's funeral has now been sorted without us having to pay for it. Some of you have said to keep money towards flowers but if anyone does wish to have their donation back please msg me your bank details and I will refund you. Even the people who have said to keep their donation please don't hesitate to msg me. Will gladly give everyone their donations back as it is now unneeded n wouldn't feel right keeping it. This page will close 23/10/17 as that's the earliest it will let me.
