Funeral for Rolando aka Coco

Donation protected
On Christmas eve 2020 my 77 year old dad, my 14 year old daughter and my then 10year old son, showed the first signs of coivd, the next day it really hit us. . My kids and i went to get tested on the 27th and we were positive. My dad dismissed it as a cold and from that point we were all bed ridden. My dad, Rolando, was hit the worst; as we started to feel slightly better, my dad was not making much improvement.  On January 14,  we called an ambulance, he was very weak and struggled to breathe, he was transported and admitted to the hospital. He had developed a pneumonia as a result of covid. His 2 week hospital stay was a rollercoaster ride of emotions and diagnosis alike. He briefly got better then much worse; he developed a pneumothorax which is a collaped lung, as a result was intubated later that day, a few days later his second lung collapsed. Rolando had many complications inbetween including kidney failure.  My dad finally succumbed to the covid caused pneumonia on January 29th. 
Through all this, Marilyn, had 2 ER visits and is to follow up with a cardiologist as lingering effects of covid. Mark, seems to be fine for now, and I have yet to get myself checked further as requested by my Dr. earlier in the day of my daughter's first ER visit.  
Sadly due to having covid, and being bed ridden my dad was not able to pay his share towards the house and I have not returned to work and used up every last saving i had during our recent move. I would at least like to be able to give my dad a proper funeral where we can all pay our last repects before we lay him to rest beside my mother. Unfortunately i am unable to afford the cost and he will lay in the county morgue until we can make the arrangements.
I am humbly asking for your help, any help. My 2 children and I need to have closure and would like to lay my dad, their grandpa- their Coco, our only family, to rest and try to mend our hearts from this terrible loss. 
Thank you. My most sincere humbleness and gratitude.
