The figure above includes the cost of fulfillment.

I discovered I had Stage IV Cancer July 18, 2010. Chemo and radiation have not helped. I am getting ready for hospice now, with under six months to live. I was terminated from my job in September, which meant I lost my life insurance. I just need enough money to be cremated. That is the cheapest way to be put away.

My family can not afford to help. I was not able to have children, so no help there either. I would completely appreciate any help I could get. I want to be able to stop worrying about this and concentrate on trying to be brave for my family. Thank you and God Bless.
