Help Alexander lay Lauren to rest with dignity in Tacoma
Lauren passed away on 29 September; we're raising $4,250 for a respectful funeral in Tacoma.
🇺🇸 Tacoma, Washington, United States2,480 views
Lauren, my wife, passed away on 29 September after complications from pneumonia. She was 67 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 $4,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 October.
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 Lauren 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 $4,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,600
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $760
• Transport of the deceased: $450
• Memorial gathering for the family: $440

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Stellenbosch
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 29 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going, Alexander. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Los Angeles.
You're not alone, Alexander. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
