Please help with my brother's funeral expenses

My older brother Chris or Christian -- or as he would have preferred, Dr. Worlow -- was an English professor at the University of Texas at Arlington. He was well liked and admired by his students and ran the department's internship and social media programs on the side. He was also a total D&D, Star Trek, and Star Wars nerd.

Chris passed suddenly and unexpectedly at home just after Christmas at the age of 46. My parents and I are raising funds for his funeral expenses. Our family is barely scraping by as it is. Mom and dad are retired and on social security, and my boyfriend and I were barely making ends meet.  We just want to make sure Chris is treated with the dignity and respect he deserves.
