Help with costs of funeral
Donation protected
I am appealing for help for my sister and her family in a great time of sadness and need. She is a single mother with 6 children who lost their father tragically and unexpectedly very recently. The family are all grieving and it is obviously a very difficult time.
To add to the grief from the loss of a loved one, unfortunately my sister is suffering dire financial problems, which she cannot overcome herself. Due to fibromyalgia and poor mental health she has recently been signed off of work, despite always trying to work and do the best for her family, currently she is struggling to put food on the table, after her bills and rent are paid, she is left with roughly £20 per week to feed them all. Hopefully her situation will change after she completes the college course she is enrolled in as a nail technician as this is work she can manage with her health. This unexpected tragedy has added many expenses which she cannot meet. She has tried applying for a crisis loan but was informed she is ineligible, at this time as a family we are unable to support her financially in time for the funeral on the 27th August.
I was hoping to raise enough money so she can buy clothes for the funeral for the children as they don't have anything smart, , my sister wanted to print photos and create memory boxes for the children, and also buy some flowers. Any left over would help towards upcoming school uniform costs as her daughter starts secondary school and 2 of the boys have outgrown their vurrent uniform.
The costs are as follows:
Girls clothes:
Dress and shoes = £50
4 x Boys clothes:
Shirt, tie, trousers and shoes = £240
Girls uniform:
Blazer, tie, skirt, PE polo shirt, PE shoes and bag = £110
2 x Boys uniform:
(can mostly reuse funeral clothes)
Blazers = £63.98
6 x Memory boxes = £150
Photos printed = £25
Flowers to top coffin = £50
All of this totals £615. I will be putting in as much as I can and if you can help at all we'd be so grateful. I just want to do what I can to try and ease the strain on my sister and my neice and nephews, they deserve to be able to say goodbye properly.
If you can't give then please share. We don't have much time before the funeral. Again... Thank you.
