Hello,
thank you, Oluwatoyin, for transferring this announcement. I was very tired after two long days of testing. I must add to it.
I cannot simply call it a scholarship fundraiser. It isn't. I don't have the money for a burial. I need money for a burial. I can't help it if it doesn't sound attractive. I have to be honest because of the restriction of time. One can file away a request for school fees for a 10th grader. I have been shown, on all tests, that both pathways into my liver are blocked. My eyes are yellow/orange. I have no energy. No surgery, except one which may give a one to five percent chance of hope. No. It's time to admit that something has to be done, planned, and filed away for the moment.
In this way, pay pal cannot be used. They do not work out of the goodness of their heart. I do not have a funeral home picked out yet so using a charging company (pay pal) which will then send funds to an as yet unpicked charging company (without a price set) puts us at risk of the funeral home deciding on the fee after the fact. Therefore, even if there is 1 dollar left over they will keep it instead of simply paying what I have used and sending the rest of Sarah's Missouri 529.
There is no medicine yet formed on this earth which will go inside my body and relieve the blockage. I make this statement with full knowledge that medical doctors can read this post and comment. So, holistic and non-western medicine is not an option. I thank you, as always, for your suggestions. But, sad to say, the time for debate is through.
I need, desperately, to pay the "ferryman" and to put back the funds which were spent from my daughter's account. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Please, please, please help. It would be traumatic for my children to have to turn my body over to the state. I am not donating my body to science. I want to be rest on African soil. I want to rest within the earth. I need peace. My children need closure. Sarah needs to go to college. That's that. They have estimated that it will take two to three weeks for my liver to lose all function. I have opted to not go on any machines to prolong the inevitable. I have a genetic disease. There is no cure. There is no way of extending life without causing additional problems for everyone. Please help in any way you can. Thank you,
La Vonda R. Staples

I am trying to take some of the weight off of my family. The first need is for Sarah's college account. We spent her funds during the time period when I didn't have health insurance. The second, and most time sensitive, event is for my burial. My bile ducts are blocked. The tumours have grown over and around the opening. It may be 2 to 3 weeks at most before my liver is no longer functioning. Please, please, please give so that I can be put into the earth with a small measure of dignity. If not for me, for my children. Please send money orders, checks or stop by our home to contribute. La Vonda R. Staples, 529 Queen Ann Drive MO 63042. Telephone: 314-731-1176

I never thought it would come to this. We're at the hospital right now. They are having the specialists go over the game plan for the next few weeks. They're saying it is two to three weeks (at most) for my liver functions to cease. I started getting sick last Wednesday and it's been like a snowball rolling down a hill. I need information about funeral homes. I have no idea where to start.
Answering the call, Sis.
