Help Us Find Our Feet After Losing Our Mom
Hi, I started this fundraiser, Help Us Find Our Feet After Losing Our Mom, on GoFundMe and it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to it. On 29 July, 2026, we lost our mom to a short illness while she was away on business. She was the main breadwinner of our family. My Dad works too, however, his income barely covers our monthly groceries and I don't think his age will allow him to work much longer.
There are now 5 people in my family, down from 6. I am the only male and have 3 younger siblings. 2 have completed high school but haven't gone to university. The youngest is in her second year of high school and will be completing in about 2-3 years. Whenever mom travelled for business, she usually carried cash because she found it more convenient especially in remote places where network wasn't reliable. Likewise, when she left for business, she carried her savings in cash. The following day she was found unconscious. Dad was informed by the person who apparently found mom about the situation. He cancelled work the same morning to go visit mom, but was told she passed before he got on the bus. Among the things, mom had on her when she was taken to the hospital, only her phone was found. The money she carried with her, however, was gone.
The funeral took longer than usual because we needed to raise funds to have mom transported back to my city. So that among other things that came with the extended duration, greatly increased the costs.
We really need your help. These funds will mostly be used to recover from the funeral expenses and to ensure that my youngest sibling, at least, completes high school, while we gather our strength and take up the role of breadwinners and hopefully, in time retire Dad. I will also invest some of the funds in a business to support my family. For allowing me to post this here, and for your assistance, thank you in advance. https://gofund.me/6dc9d96e0
