Help Derek lay Jaxon to rest with dignity in Tallahassee
Jaxon passed away on 26 July; we're raising $6,700 for a respectful funeral in Tallahassee.
🇺🇸 Tallahassee, Florida, United States6,182 views
Jaxon, my husband, passed away on 26 July after a road accident. He was 51 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $6,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 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 Jaxon 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 $6,700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,950
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,800
• Transport of the deceased: $610
• Memorial gathering for the family: $340
Thank you for reading my story.

hope things get better soon, Derek. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Fez
You're not alone, Derek. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update
Keep going, Derek. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Sapporo.
