Help Give Gerald Frick a marker for his grave site
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Ryan Frick and I'm raising money to help me bury my cousin, Gerald Frick.
A few months ago, Jerry fell down the stairs and shattered his kneecap. He had surgery and was put on antibiotics, but they weren't working. He ended up back at the hospital and was given an antibiotic that caused his lung tissue to become inflamed. He ended up having a tracheostomy and be put on a ventilator so he could breathe properly. He then contracted CRE, which was eating away at his lung tissue and that no antibiotic had an effect against. I made the tough decision for an end-of-life procedure as a mercy to him rather than let him slowly be ravaged by the disease and suffer.
Jerry was indigent and I, nor any of his family, have the money to bury him. If I can't bury him, the county will declare his body 'abandoned' and they will bury him, but with no service and no marker for his grave. It breaks my heart to think that this will be his end; anonymous and forgotten. If you can spare a dime towards his funeral expenses, I would be extremely grateful. Thank you for reading.
