Looks like we have yngwie v.20.

um read his 2nd post to this thread

sorry for your loss :(

Please, not another donation scam? Hopefully he hasn't bailed on the thread already.

I missed that. Still my point stands, where's the personal responsibility in all of this.

If his mother hadn't accumulated any assets or savings in her lifetime and his family is broke then beggars can't be choosers.

He talks about making money online, where is this money now ? Maybe if he had a real job he'd be able to afford a cremation at least.

Don't they have pauper funerals in the USA ? We have them here.

I call bullshit or they may not feel they are allowed to release that info which I would not understand either. Fuck off. Thank you.

Fair enough.

:thumbsup

Thank you. She did put me in charge of life insurance, after her first bout with cancer and nobody wanted to insure her due to the cancer.
Thank you. I know this as well. And yes we would have the money already if it were this low. My mother put my brother in charge of all of this. We met with the funeral director the day before she passed, not even knowing it would be the last time we really heard her voice. At first before she was put into the nursing home we all spoke about cremation. I was and am fully prepared to cremate her, only for financial reason.

That day with the funeral director, she said she wanted to be laid to rest with her mother. Why $4500? I don't know, so many fees such as removal of the body, $80 in there just for the newspaper. I dont even know. We got quoted 3 options and just under $4500 was the lowest offer after all is said and done. The next offer was cremation with services at just under $5500, and finally just under $7500 for full burial and services. But it is out of my hands. I am simply trying to help my brother cause as I said above he is taking this harder than I and he wants to get enough to give her what she wanted. I am simply trying to help him reach his goal.

Ok bro. We did call around but we hadn't much time. We got the "estimated" quotes on saturday, she died on sunday. The funeral director we spoke with had already removed the body. My brother chose him because that is who my mother wanted I guess I don't really know. It likely is a more expensive option, but then we are a small town and not a shit ton of funeral homes to chose from.

As I said, I could be ok with cremation as I just don't want any of us in debt over this as we all are already. We gathered our weekly incomes to get started, then we were reaching out to family and friends. Not much happening there. I could go into details of family judgment and feuding and whatnot... which is always fun to deal with when you are grieving. But really none of that is important. After seeing how this all unfolded. I decided to reach out to my community, my online community where I spend my days while I am not at the local park or tavern... see.. this is where I live. Online.

Still here, but despite what many of you think, this is real. I have feelings and while I knew that a few would set my ass on fire I also had hoped that would come with a few donations as well. Nope, mostly fire, so I backed off a bit. I am having a rough time still and some comments can be hard to swallow. I pointed it out in the beginning that I was unsure of posting. I know people see this as just another burial, but many have lost loved ones to cancer, and they tend to help one another out. :Oh crap

Additionally, I would like to ask...

Did you call and say something along the lines of "I saw a post in an online forum with a gofundme campaign and was wondering if it was a scam" and the reply would likely be of that which you posted. "We are sorry but we have no involvement in that."

Or...

Did you call and say "I am a concerned friend or coworker of a family member to someone that may be at rest there awaiting burial, I am considering making a donation. Do you have the body of Julie Cline"

Perhaps you might have gotten a different reply.

Just saying, it could be the question you asked.

:2 cents::2 cents:

Fiddy donation requests. :(

.

He does have a valid point no?

As stated I think we will end up cremating her. Though we are doing what we can to fulfill her last wishes. What kind of sons would not even try simply because they didn't have the almighty dolla dolla bill?

Oh... what kind of son posts this in an adult forum...

Well. I wish I still had the pic of her sporting my gfy hat. Yes at first she thought it meant "Good for you" then I explained it meant GoFuckYourself, she said "even better".

She was always one of few that didn't care that I worked in adult entertainment.

I called them and said I wanted to donate, and asked if they could confirm they were collecting - they could not.

And if you look at the yngwie post, I donated more than $100 to a canadian cancer foundation. So dont have a problem with donating... I do however HATE scammers

I would doubt that you will get any donations from this forum.

I called and they confirmed it so it is legit. But I still think it is pretty low to come here begging for funeral donations. How many able bodied brothers did you say you had? Go get loan and work it off like everyone else does.

Is this thread over ?

sorry for your loss.

but don't you have friends / family / friends of friends / friends of family members / family members of friends / work buddies / drink buddies / some local group where you hang out ?

i don't get it , why ppl come on adult / porn forum for something like that .

anyways , my condolences .you should try your local contacts for funds..

if you have anything for sale e.g. domains / scripts then you should post it too.

Doesnt anyone have credit any more? When I run into unexpected expenses I can't pay cash for I use my line of credit. Anyone that owns a house should have one practically forced on them by the bank. I guess it's easier if you can get other people to pay your bills though.

I have sent you $25 in the last week.

My condolences.

sorry about your loss, be strong man

sorry to hear
