Background
There were actually two charities I wanted to select but I'll start here. I am Larissa's oldest child and only daughter. There are three of us and losing our mom was hands down the most unbelievable thing we have ever experienced. I'm 31 and I have spent 29 years of my life with my mom. We were extremely close. My brothers and I each had a very special relationship with her. There was no question that she loved us and everyone around her. Her passions were child care and travelling. July 21, 2020 I went into kidney failure because of a large mass sitting on my tubes. After being hospitalized for five days I came home and hugged my mom as if I had returned from war. Four days later she went into the hospital but never came out. I was able to spend her last 10 hours with her. She hid the fact that she had cervical cancer from us. She never got treatment. She was diagnosed seven years prior. So imagine the disbelief we went through when the doctor told us all of this. Following her shocking death, it was time to plan a funeral. I was not in a financially OK place to have a beautiful ceremony plus it was during Covid. So by the grace of God, the funeral home we were working with offered to cremate her at no cost!! Months later it still bothers me that as amazing as she was, as many people she helped, as many lives she touched, there was no honor in her death. My middle brother's anger following all of this landed him in jail and he needs support. My youngest brother just became a first time dad and also needs help. And I'm currently dealing with a lot of internal damage to my health. My dad's side of the family have been there for me and took me in with no hesitation. I have a hard time asking for help especially now that this virus has taken so much from people already. So if it is on your heart to help in any way, it's surely no small blessing to us. Thank you in advance!
