Please help with funeral expenses.

I really did not want to have to do a go fund me, but at this point we've exhausted all of our other options. My father in law, Merlin Wilson passed away yesterday and had no life insurance or money in savings due to his 10 year battle with cancer and c.o.p.d. We are struggling with his passing and now on top of it have a funeral to pay for. We simply do not have the finances available to do this by ourselves, so I am asking for everyone's help. If you can donate, please do. If you can't afford to help out, it's all good, please just share this post. He was a great man that will be deeply missed by many. We are going the cheapest route possible, with a cremation and graveside services as those were his wishes. It's still going to cost 5000.00. Thank you all in advance for your help.
