Hello Umemboshi,

We are thinking of you tonight and your little one as well as of everyone who has recently lost a loved one to cancer and for whom Christmas may be a difficult time of year.

I am so sorry to hear about the financial issues you are having to deal with at the moment. It must be really stressful for you and I hope you will get some good tips from others on our forum who have had to face similar financial difficulties. We have some detailed information on our website on financial support you may be entitled to. You can find out more about this here. It includes a section on government benefits you may qualify for including bereavement benefits and get some help with funeral costs. You can find out more about these here. I hope you get some advice on this - perhaps you could get in touch with your Citizens Advice Bureau who may be able to point you in the right direction.

Best wishes and our thoughts are very much with you tonight,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

Thank you for your kind words and advices.

Could I ask you for more advice ? Do you know where I could post the link to the fundraise that was created for me by my Friends?

Hello Umemboshi,

You are very welcome - very happy to help!

Unfortunately for security reasons, we don't allow crowdfunding links to be posted on our forum but perhaps the most effective place for you to post this fundraising link would be via social media - for example through your Facebook account if you have one or you can get your friends to share the link via their Facebook page and what often happens is that friends of friends will then also share it.

I wish you the very best of luck with it and hope that you can also qualify for some of the financial support and benefits that are currently available.

Best wishes,

Lucie
