Bonnie's Headstone Fund: A Family's Plea
Donación protegida
Hello everyone. My name is Sarah, and I am trying to raise money for a headstone for my grandmother Bonnie. She passed away unexpectedly in September of last year. Unfortunately, her insurance money was just enough to have her cremated and nothing else. Due to our own money troubles my family has not been able to buy her a headstone. I was able to find a granite headstone, the one in the picture, that is 16"x8"x14" that is approximately 130lbs. To buy it and have all her information put in with tax included it is just under $600 which in the headstone world is very cheap.
My grandmother was a kind woman who would have given you everything she had if you had asked. She in the woman in my earliest memory and to think that she still hasn't gotten a stone breaks my heart. I understand this is a long shot and my luck is terrible, but I am hoping you all can find it in your hearts to help me and my family. Me, my mom, and my dad are all the family she has left in the world. Please if you can help us remember the amazing woman she was.
Thank you in advance,
Sarah B
- Edit 1 - I would like to thank all of the amazing people that have gotten it to the original $600 goal and then some. I am amazed at the kindness you have all shared! I am forever grateful and as soon as the money clears, I can buy the headstone.
- Edit 2 - I have added a tiny bit more to the goal to cover what I believe is going to be the fee to have the headstone installed. If we can reach that new goal it would be awesome, but if not, I fully understand. I am waiting to hear back from the cemetery to have the final amount for the instillation. Once again you have blessed me and my family for even thinking about helping us out. I am forever grateful to you all!
- Edit 3 - I have heard back from the cemetery and I have gotten the price. To install the headstone it will take $250 which I thought was going to be a lot worse. I have added it to the number so all is well.
- Edit 4 - I have placed the order for the headstone, but I have tried to add a Bible Verse to it not reading the fine print. The verse in question is Psalm 23:6 if anyone wishes to know. To add the verse it is an additional $250. I am trying my best to see if they will work with me and remove that request and the fee. If not my only hope is somehow you will take pitty on me. I hate to ask for more money, but I have to wait and see what they say tomorrow because they are out of the office until Tuesday for Memorial Day.
- Edit 5 - They got back to me about removing the Bible verse and they have done so. They will not be charging me the extra $250 for it. Everything is now offically covered and they will begin working on it right away. My heart is overwhelmed my love and I cannot thank you all!
