Farewell fund for Alexandra: help Nathan's family in Nashville
Nathan lost his wife suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,950.
🇺🇸 United States2,623 views
Alexandra, my wife, passed away on 16 May after a road accident. She was 42 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $4,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 June.
I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Alexandra to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,950
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,600
• Transport of the deceased: $180
• Memorial gathering for the family: $220
