I am just fuming.
My mom does some volunteer for different fundraisers (like cancer, Bone Merle(sp) heart, lung, and etc.) Well 2 days ago she tells me there is a woman (we'll call her Sandy) who works at one of the places that she volunteers at and Sandy's mother is in the hospital and the doctors told the family that she wasn't coming home. Sandy proceeds to tell my mom that they have no money, no life insurance, nothing. The family doesn't have no choice but to donate her body to science, which wouldn't be bad but the mother really doesn't want that. She wants to be cremated and placed in an urn with her son. So I called around and my mom and I have decided to pay for this womans cremation. (about $875) We were trying to be nice and my mom called Sandy to tell her and this woman had the nerve to say "could you just give us the money instead, cuz without moms social security check we don't know how we are going to make it" . WTF is wrong with this family? I can not believe that they would give her body to science against her will when the money is being handed to them.
My mom is going to the hospital tonight to make arrangements WITH the dying mother to be cremated.
As for Sandy and her husband they will not see one dime from me. That is just plain greedy, and rude.
Anyway, if you read all this thanks for listening to me vent. I am just so freakin mad...
