Emergency funeral funds for Bernard Scott's Dad

Donation protected
Bernard started as a grad student with me in the Hill lab at the University of Utah. He moved back to Georgia recently to help out with his father, who has been ill and in the hospital since early July. Just when his dad seemed to be recovering, he passed in his sleep on August 30, 2023.

The mortuary is asking for a full $5,000 deposit before the funeral on Saturday, September 9th. His dad didn't have any life insurance to cover the cost of the funeral, and although he spent 20 years in the Army they are unable to provide assistance. Meanwhile, Bernard is his dad's only child and he has just barely started at a new job with reduced hours due to the time he has put in with his dad.

Hospital expenses aside, Bernard does not have this money and needs to come up with the funeral deposit in less than 48 hours. I ask you to please help my friend as he struggles with these bills as well as with the loss of his father and trying to settle in to a new life in Georgia.
