Help Ray Lay His Wife Karen to Rest with Dignity

My name is Raymond Lewis. I was married to my wife Karen for 45 years. She was my everything. Last week, she suffered two heart attacks, and when she was admitted to Vanderbilt Hospital, we were told she had lung cancer.

I was trying to bring her home to be with me in her final days—but before that could happen, she passed away.

Now I’m doing everything I can to lay her to rest with the dignity and love she deserves. But I’m struggling. My car and my truck are both broken down. I have no way to get around, and I don’t have family nearby to help. I need support for burial expenses and basic transportation to handle the arrangements.

I’ve never done anything like this before and I wouldn’t ask if I wasn’t desperate. Anything you can give will go toward giving Karen a proper goodbye.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
