Please Help Us To Cremate Joe.

Donation protected

On 2/20/16 I unexpectedly lost my brother Joe after he became ill with pnuemonia. Two days earlier he sought out help at the local hospital where they gave him a prescription of cough syrup and sent him away, my brother was partially homeless and did not have insurance, as of yet we do not know if this had anything to do with the hospital not admiting him, but two days later he died in mid - conversation with his best friend.

Our family just lost our Mom on 1/14/16 to lung cancer after suffering a massive stroke in 2010. Barely covering costs for my mother's funeral we will lay her to rest on 2/27/16. And now we are left scrambling to alocate funds to cover just a basic cremation and two urns for my brother's ashes to be divided between his two daughters.

My brother Joe had just turned 56 on 1/12/16
he leaves behind a wife, two daughters, four grandchildren, myself, and two brothers.
He was such as strong person. Despite living a very hard life, he never struggled to give you a smile, or crack a joke. I can't begin to explain how much he is missed.

I would gladly finance this process, however so far we have not been able to find a mortuary that will 100% finance the process.

We have also found services that will cover simply disposing of his body, however no remains would be returned to us whatsoever, which would be really tragic for us.
If you have a few dollars extra that you can part with, please help us out!

Thank you
