Kelly created a GoFundMe page on May 31 of last year, seeking donations to cover funeral expenses following her mother’s passing on May 9.
In her appeal to potential donors, she described her mother as ‘loving and caring,’ explaining that her mum had requested a simple burial, which still cost nearly £2,000—a sum Kelly claimed she couldn’t afford.
The lady raised £1,470 from 43 donors through the site and also received two additional donations of £1,000, one from a woman whose name wasn’t given and one from her uncle, the Cannock Magistrates’ Court in Staffordshire heard.
