Saying goodbye to Nevaeh - help with funeral expenses
Elias lost his grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,650.

Nevaeh, my grandmother, passed away on 14 January after a stroke. She was 26 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 $4,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 January.
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 Nevaeh 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 the Rockford hospice.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,500
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $950
• Memorial gathering for the family: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
