"GIVE MY MOTHER HER DYING WISH" by JESSICA ROONEY

Hi friends... Family and strangers... My name is Jessica Edwards I am a 25year old mother of two On October 1st 2014 my mother passed away. She had battled cancer for a few years and not to long was cleared of the cancer. It was a relief and I felt I could relax.. Although I has watched my mothers body deteriorate we were given some hope! My mother has been so ill  but we were sure now the cancer was gone that we had more time I never never expected this... Not yet anyways. As some people know I have a daughter who is 3 and a half and have just given birth to a baby boy. I was due to visit my mother who lives hundreds of miles away to introduce her to her first grandson... My daughter was counting the sleeps until she sees her nanny..... This  was to be in  1weeks time. Unfortunately her body didn't the power to hold on any longer.... She was found dead in her bed by my youngest brother. I dont have family around and unfortunately no aunts uncles or even grandparents to help me pay for her funeral... In 1992 my mothers husband passed and she was  never the same since he  passed he was the love of her life her everything and even after he died she lived her life for him. He is buried at figgs marsh cemetery in London (where I live)  and my mother lives up north in hartlepool her life long wish was to be buried with him she never wanted to die but had hope and faith that when she does she would be with him and that kept her strong.  but I just do not have the money at all to grant her wish and that kills me! I am currently out of work I have set up this page in a last hope that I don't loose my mother forever and can bury her with her husband and take my children to lay flowers at her grave! I am sincerely begging everyone and anyone to help me because I cannot bare the thought of loosing her forever! I know it's not a strangers job to pay for my mothers funeral but this is all I have, the only option. My mum wouldn't care about a fancy funeral or even flowers all she wants is to be buried next to her husband and that is all in trying to do! If I raise enough for flowers and a headstone that be fantastic but that us not important please share and please contribute big or small very donation helps! Hopefully my mum can have her life long dream and be with her husband. If I can't give her that I just don't know how I  would live with myself! Thank you for taking the time to read this and please please share Many thanks and appreciation  the money will go towards transporting her Body from Hartlepool which cost £1,400 permission from council to bury her as she is no longer a Merton  resident  that is £1,000  and then 1,300 to re dig the grave where her husband is buried these are just some of the costs without the actual funeral it's self  so I hope you understand my situation. Ideally I would like to raise 8,000 to bury her body but 5,000 will allow me to bury her ashes in a small Castket in the grave with her husband x
