Anita McClain's Celebration of Life Expenses

❤️A Heartfelt thank you and a continued need for my Momma's final resting place❤️


My Momma, Anita, had no life insurance, funeral plans, or funds set aside to cover her final expenses. Since her passing, so many wonderful friends, family members, and even complete strangers have blessed us with love offerings that have gone towards her burial. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for every single person who has given, prayed, encouraged us, or simply reached out with love. Thank you from the depths of my soul! ❤️


However, there is still a great financial need, this is the remaining total of her burial expenses. This has been such a huge undertaking for me, and I’m struggling to put into words just how exhausted and overwhelmed I am and have been since her passing. I spent 16 of the 18 days my Momma was in the hospital by her bedside, day and night. I was her advocate, made all the difficult decisions regarding her care, and stayed by her side until the very end. Carrying that responsibility was emotionally and mentally draining, and I have been the only one making all the arrangements to honor her final wishes.


Somewhere in the middle of advocating for my Momma, making decisions, and planning her burial, I’ve barely had time to grieve the loss of my best friend.😭 After 49 years of life together, I honestly don’t know how to imagine this world without her in it.


But I know Abba. Abba has always provided, and I believe He will continue to provide. 🙌🏻 He laid it on my heart to reach out to family and friends for help in lightening this financial burden. The responsibility for my Momma’s final expenses rests completely on my husband and I, and we are trusting Abba to carry us through this difficult season.


This will be my final request for a love offering toward my Momma’s burial and I fully believe all will be provided in HIS timing. I wanted to honor her last wishes and give her the burial she wanted and deserves. Every single cent given will go directly toward all her burial expenses, and my husband and I will have to cover whatever remains.


Anything helps. No amount is too small! If you’re unable to give financially, please know that your prayers are just as welcome and deeply needed. ❤️


I also want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to everyone who has already given. I am truly overwhelmed by the love, generosity, and kindness you have shown our family. Your willingness to help us give my Momma a proper final resting place has touched my heart more than you will ever know.


Through all the heartbreak, exhaustion, and uncertainty, Abba has been so present and so good. He has reminded me that even when I feel like I cannot take another step, I am never walking alone.


Thank you for loving us, praying for us, encouraging us, and helping us honor my Momma. I pray Abba blesses each of you abundantly for the love you have poured into our family.


I don’t know exactly how I’m going to do life without my Momma, but I know Abba will get me through it, one moment at a time.


From the depths of my soul, THANK YOU. May blessings be upon you and yours. 🙏🏻🙌🏻
