Funeral costs for Maverick's wife, Aaliyah
Aaliyah passed away on 16 August; we're raising $1,250 for a respectful funeral in Sheffield.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom785 views
Aaliyah, my wife, passed away on 16 August after complications from pneumonia. She was 38 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 $1,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 August.
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 Aaliyah 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $260
• Memorial gathering for the family: $440
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $550
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 25 people at work.
You're not alone, Maverick. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 25 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Fort Worth so I could bring a meal. Love from Yekaterinburg.
