I am asking you wonderful people for help. I have found myself in a terrible situation. I know I only have myself to blame, and I would not ask if I were not desperate. My husband Richard Bertrand passed away last Saturday, the 15th of January. The Funeral home will not cremate him until I pay. I don't have it, and I can't borrow it. So I'm asking you to open your hearts and help me put my husband to rest.

He worked all his life, and we lived well, but when he retired and drew his Social Security we had a house fire, and we lost everything. We were renting, so we had no insurance. We started over and lost everything again in Hurricane Laura. We are still in a FEMA trailer thank God for that. Without Richard's check, I don't know how we will eat, much less take care of the funeral home bill. Please don't turn away. There are only my disabled daughter and myself.

Thank you for reading my letter and for helping. God bless you!
