Please help us arrange a way for three children to say a final goodbye to their mum

Hello lovely people.

On Thursday, my dear family friend (and the biological mother of my adopted daughter), passed away very suddenly at only 50.

She had a sudden seizure and went into cardiac arrest Thursday morning, at home, with only her children with her. Despite working on her for over an hour and a half, she passed away our local hospital.

She leaves behind a severely disabled husband and three children, one of which is disabled herself. She was their main carer and sole breadwinner in the household, and her family are in dire financial need - it's heartbreaking to see them deal with the astronomical costs of even a basic cremation, alongside their own grief.

Her children's last memory of their mother is seeing her body through hospital windows. Due to the current circumstances, she died alone and they were not able to say goodbye. We are desperately trying to raise enough funds for a simple service and cremation.

There are no words to describe how good and kind a person Tina was. The phrase 'salt of the earth' was made for her. My own mother passed away when I was 8, and my grandparents who raised me when I was 17. As a teenager, she showed me how to plumb a washing machine, wire a plug, pay bills and budget. She held and loved my adopted daughter for the first 16 years of her life, until she came into our care, we were a team in loving Daisy - and now our team is broken. Watching Daisy, and her younger brother and sister, go through what I did as a child and teenager is soul destroying.

If you can help, in any way, it would very much be appreciated.
