My Mama Passed Away

Posted by Jarrodjvandenberg - March 19th, 2024


My sister set this up and I truly need it. This is the hardest message I've ever had to write. Sunday night, my mama died. She had no life insurance. I counted on her SSI as the other half of our income. I recently did everything to raise her credit score so she could get a house in her name. I have nothing. I can't pay the $1936 rent and I can't even pay the approximately $650 to have my mama cremated. I need help everyone. I don't ask for help easily or often, but please. Pride be damned, I truly need help. One month of rent and getting my mama cremated would enable me to get back on my feet and work toward becoming a productive member of society and figure out what life is without my mama. I've never lived for me; I don't even know how.


I did everything right; I called 911, I started compressions, the EMT's and Paramedics went above and beyond and she didn't come back to me. I've lived my whole life for my mama.


Please. Anything would help. It's more than I had before. I've never asked but I'm begging.


The GoFundMe. I know you don't know me, but from a son who truly needs help. Anything would go further than you can imagine. I'm begging and asking those in the creative community to help one of their own.

I'm so sorry for your loss

Thank you. That means the world. Thank you.

Thank you everyone. I can't tell you what this has meant to me the people who have given. This is a nightmare in every way. I am so sorry to even ask. I'm disgusted and shocked the complete and utter lack of resources from my state of Colorado to help whatsoever, so what you've given is all I have to have any hope. Thank you.
