Joseph passed away on 30 July; we're raising $4,200 for a respectful funeral in Liverpool.
Updates from Melanie
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,053 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $1,033 raised so far (25%). I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
