A woman who can’t afford to pay for her mum’s funeral after losing her job as an electrical engineer has spoken of her desperation.
Siobhan Demetriades is struggling to raise the £2,300 she owes a funeral home after burying her mum earlier this month. Bridget Gibson was just 54-years-old when died following a battle with lung cancer in April.
Sadly, Bridget did not have life insurance or a funeral plan, leaving only Siobhan to pay for the service. The 32-year-old, from Whalley Range, currently has no way of covering the costs – and is desperately hoping Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) can help her with funding.
