My Mom Died. =(
14 years ago
General
Heya... I know i don't share a lot of personal things on here...
but a big part of my life changed recently...
on Friday afternoon my mom Passed away.
she was terminally ill and has been battling Cancer for a long time.
I feel really bad because i feel like things could have been different,
and i feel like a big fuck up.
So anyway i woke up today with tears in my eyes because its mother's day
its never meant anything to me before... but now it does...
Everyone should wish their mother a heartfelt happy mother's day because
you never know when they are gonna go...
Now here's the difficult part;
My mom Has been terminated from her job after taking leave for 6+ months, (because of being too sick to work) even while sick with cancer
and under going chemo, she went to work (pretty fucking hardcore) but
when she missed too much work they cut her loose along with her health
insurance/life insurance.
so she had been paying out of pocket (cobra <-- wiki that one for a good laugh) for health care costs. Dissability on average takes a year to kick in from
OFFICIAL Termination.
so long story short her entire life savings was Depleted, as you can imagine
paying everything upfront out of pocket and getting minimally reiumbursed.
she has no money left to fulfill her Dying wish, which was to be burried.
I CANNOT fuck this up, cremation is not an option. so i'm determined to make
this happen.
Anyone that knows me, knows i'm not the Type of Fur that shit happens to all the time.
whats going on in your life, man, something is always goin on in his life...
thats not me....
anyone who knows me for real, knows i've NEVER asked for money.
EVER....
well to pull this thing together i'm going to need an additional $2,000
which i am short. keep in mind i've been busting my ass to get the bottom
line from these funeral directors and cemetary lots and its an uphill battle.
i'm financing everything myself so i'm on the hook, but i realistcially cannot
afford to take a hit like that.
If people would be able to send money Via Pay Pal to:
(CLOSED - no longer Accepting donations as 100% has been raised as of June 9th with an anonymous donation of $500) (*edit) it would be a great help and i'd much appreciate it.
i'm not asking alot, if you could just give between $10 ~ $25
if 80 people donate then i would be in the clear and we can make this happen.
thank you so so so much, and wish me luck in the coming days, i gotta lotta shit to wade through.
Love you guys,
-Brine
(*edit: my brother was kind enough to accept donations on my behalf, i now have my own pay pal set up.) (edit: no longer accepting donations, thanks so much to those who expressed condolences, and those who've helped chip in, its really went a long way to help me and my family )

FA+

get an idea of how much things cost...
its better to know beforehand then to get the
sticker shock in post and not be emotionally equipped to handle it.
luckily i'm in sales and i know most of the tricks, and i'm very resourceful...
I'll keep you posted (along with everyone else on FA)...
if you just give $5 or $10 thats plenty, i just want everyone to give just a lil bit. thank you so much for thinking of me in my time of need =3
thank you so much. looked at your FA, you're a hilarious/awesome person =3
i really appreciate you sending a message, it means a lot to me. thanks for everything,
and i'll try not to drive you too crazy @ AC ;3
Tell the guy with the butt i said hey =3
o and duckie too.
i also Received the email you sent, i'll be responding to each email individually... right now i'm really stress/stretched thin with all these phone calls/arrangements etc.
i'm really surprised at/excited about all the support i'm getting... i'm actually in tears over all of this... you guys are really so sweet
I wish you the best and you have my deepest sympathy. *hugs tight*
you do the research online beforehand because they will take advantage of the limited time frame to work with and your emotions.
don't send a lot please, just a little because i want everyone to be able to chip in just a lil'.
Is there anyone in your immediate family helping with the financial burdens?
My older Brother is paying about 25~30% of the total cost (which is a LOT), and my younger brother agreed to help me with pay pal arrangements (until i got my own set up here recently)
Hope that helps somehow
Thanks so much, i'll PM you with my info. *HUG*
with chewing out funeral directors, and trying to find burial @ a reasonable rate... etc... i'll stop by tomorrow with my older brother if thats cool, you'll be able to meet him.
i wouldn't worry... thanks for your condolences, you're a cool friend to me =3
you're a really cool dude, and i'm sorry i've been to busy to hang out but once this is settled i plan to keep in touch with my friends (you, nova, brody, the other local guys) a lot more.
yes this is a difficult time but i'm tough and i'm doing my best. *HUG*
STAAAAA~R TIDE!!!!
Thanks So much, i received your donation and everything. And yes every lil bit helps, infact we are looking REALLY good.
i'll explain exactly everything thats going on soon...
O thank you so much =3
if you did want to give $5 even that would be fine if everyone just chips in a lil' bit.
thats all that matters, not the quantity.
infact a smaller amount shows that you really didn't have to give yet chose to sacrafice for someone else.
we're doing good but still a lil ways from the goal, thanks again for all the love *HUG* beleive me i need it now with all the turbulance.
Thanks for being so cool. I appreciate it so much. Tell Crusader he's a good friend to me =3
i'm just glad for all my friends being there for me =3
if you wanted to help you could tell people about the kind of person i am from your own personal experience, and that i'm
going through a really hard time with my mom
dying...
and then link them to this journal.
Thank you so much HyperX *hug*
*hugs*
i'm glad you're a good friend of mine =3
