Personal Plea For Help/Raising Awareness - Garamonde - 10-05-2015
http://www.plumfund.com/memorial-fund/TeamMomMemorialFund
Hello everyone. Some of you may have seen me talk about my grandmother and her worsening condition... Well, it kills me to announce that "that time" is approaching quickly, and I have learned that we simply cannot afford her funeral costs. So I have been trying to share this link everywhere I can in hopes that someone will either be able to help us or spread it around. I realize that times are tough for all of us and I am not begging anyone to donate, especially considering we have such a high goal to meet -- however, I want to ask if anyone here would be at least willing to share this page, or if they know anyone who may be able to help, to inform them.
I have also posted this plea for help to Tumblr: http://mightyjetters.tumblr.com/post/130518383408/team-mom-memorial-fund if anyone would please to reblog it. As you may be able to see, I have also temporarily replaced my signature with a link to the page; I do not have the intention of advertising or shoving this down anyone's throat, I simply want to help get this out there as much as I can since I cannot do anything else.
In closing, I do not have words to express what my grandmother means to me and it tears away at the very fiber of my being that things have gotten to this point. If anyone is able to help, my family and I would be eternally grateful. However, if anyone can at least please share this link and spread the word, that would also be wholeheartedly appreciated. A sincere thank you goes out to those who have donated thus far and to whomever reads this and shares it to help answer our plea.
Thank you for your time,
~Lindsey

Bumping to see if this can't get anymore attention.
Again, the Tumblr post is here: http://mightyjetters.tumblr.com/post/131805245288/team-mom-memorial-fund
...And I also made a Facebook post here: https://www.facebook.com/RainbowNebula/posts/1038467262850785
which should be viewable by everyone (please let me know if it's not).
Thank you again to everyone who has donated and shared this so far. I love you all.

As per my post updating on the situation, it is with a somber soul that I have to announce what seems to be the final stretch for my grandmother. Much to our shock and optimism, she has managed to fight well beyond what life expectancy the doctor had given her previously. Now, however, after having been afflicted with this new disease, things are looking more grim than ever and I would like to get this circulating again as things appear to be going downhill fast.
Aforementioned in my previous posts, I am not and will not pressure anyone to donate. But if anyone would please, please take a moment out of their day to share or reblog (or both if possible) my post, even if it does not fit your blog theme. You would have my deepest gratitude. Here they are again:

Thank you to anyone who reads this and shares and/or contributes. I hate to have to post this.
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that the page has expired and won't accept donations. Please bear with me as I try to get this resolved.

Just wanted to inform that the Plumfund link has been fixed so that it will accept contributions now! The description has also been edited a bit by my aunt to be more current. Things are still touchy as ever, though...
I also wanted to bring up that my post on Tumblr has gotten more than 15 reblogs and 3 interested in contributing so far ever since I made this post and shared it amongst my beloved friend circle. I think some of those reblogs may have been from people on this forum, and I just wanted to thank those of you from the bottom of my heart for caring. I'll keep you guys updated either here or in one of the real life threads!
Again, I cannot thank everyone enough for the love and support they have shown for our cause. I love you guys.

I hadn't gotten to posting yet, but as mentioned in this post and on the Plumfund page, Mom has passed away on February 26th at 5:30 AM.
The fund is still open however. A cousin of mine is hosting an event at the place she works at to raise a lot of money for it, and whatever is leftover my parents might be able pay for.
Thank you to everyone who has given; I will post here one last time when the expenses are paid.

I'll see what I can do to help.
RE: Personal Plea For Help/Raising Awareness - Garamonde - 04-22-2016
Since I've learned that the Plumfund has been paid off (and that the page isn't even up anymore) I shall close this thread and remove it from my signature.
Thank you all so, so much for all the love, support and contributions you've made. It means the world to me.
