Greetings FB Medicine Family.
This is a very vulnerable post. I usually do not share my private life here on the platform, aside from my healing work, but my sister, Gina Marie GEORGETTi, and I are in a time of need and grief, and could use the kind support of many of you out there. I have created a GoFundMe campaign, and the link to it is in the comments below, please take a look, and if you feel compelled to support it, then many thanks and blessings to you! 💜🌵💚
Our story:
Our Mother, Anne Marie Georgetti (Luciani), recently passed away, leaving my sister and I with the huge responsibility of overseeing her funerary preparations and laying her to rest in a good way. Anne Marie passed suddenly on November 30th, 2022, after battling addiction, mental illness, and an ongoing string of physical ailments and calamities for 25 years. She had no life insurance nor any savings to her name whatsoever. Sadly, Anne Marie had alienated herself from her family and friends over the years due to the toxic nature of the illness that she struggled with for so long. As her last of kin, my lovely sister, Gina Marie, and I assumed the total cost of her cremation and funeral according to Mom's wishes, even though we ourselves had become estranged from her in recent years. I also incurred the exorbitant cost of airfare from Perú to the USA for a last-minute flight during the holiday season so that I could be present to say goodbye to our Mother in the way she wished, and to support my younger sister through this complex grieving process. Both Gina and I had already paid large sums of money this year for needed life things, and the sudden financial burden of a funeral and a 6000-kilometer trip back to the USA for me has left both of us with depleted savings. Although we were both happy to do this one last thing for our Mom in the physical world, it has come with high stress over the financial burden, which falls on top of the burden that one already goes through while grieving the loss of a parent- regardless of any shortcomings they may have had in life.
I humbly ask you to please assist us in recuperating some of the funerary and travel expenses that we paid to see Anne Marie's last steps in the physical world be carried out in a beautiful and good way. If you feel it in your heart to donate any sum of money to our cause, then we will be overjoyed and grateful. We know that Anne Marie, in her true soulful self, would never have wanted to overburden her children and make them pay for her mistakes. She will, no doubt, be grateful of your support of her and her children now, especially considering she had lost the support of so many loved ones along the way. We have always loved our Mother and have been grateful for her role in bringing us into this beautiful world and raising us in a good way during the formative years of our lives. And we love you, too. Thank you for your generosity, and may you be blessed as you make your way through the journey called 'Life'.
In Love and Gratitude,
Joey Greenstone and Gina Marie Georgetti
