Carlton "Bolo" Turk

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Meka and I am raising funds for my husband Mr. Carlton Turk. My husband unfortunately passed unexpectedly on 12/13/23 from a massive heart attack. He was revived but unfortunately was brain dead. I had to make a decision to pull him off life support which was explained to our family. My husband had previously been sick beginning in April this year. I was traveling back and forth to the hospital and home to work since he took ill, as I was working during this time. Unfortunately due to hours missed, I was laid off back in October. I have not been working since and have not secured another place of employment yet.

Upon my husband's death we found out that the insurance we had for him would not pay out the full amount of $20,000 through the VA. We only paid six months of insurance and the insurance company will pay back the amount of only $363 as that was the only option for insurance for him. They explained that he would had had to live for 2 years before paying out the full amount and unfortunately he only survived 6 months after securing the insurance for him. I had to replan his funeral for him to get cremated instead of buried. The funeral home, who has been so awesome and understanding, has worked out a payment plan for me and securing his ashes upon complete payment.
I absolutely understand that this is the Christmas season and appreciate anything that is sent. My husband was my world as his death really rocked our family to the core. The total amount cremation is 4600 and any extra will be used to cover some bills as I stayed home to take care of my husband after I got laid off and purchasing an urn and necklaces for our children to carry his ashes. I do plan on getting back to work after the new year as I am tying loose ends concerning him. Anything that you may be able to offer is appreciated and will help. Thank you so much for you time and understanding. Have a wonderful holiday season.
