Help Jerilin's Parents Say Goodbye to Their Baby
Donation protected
This little, three-year-old angel has lost her battle with Pulmonary Insufficiency, a deadly respiratory condition she suffered with for most of her short life. Her parents are, of course, devastated. They came to this country seeking asylum from the violence of their home country of Honduras, only to have little Jerelin fall ill immediately upon arriving here. They barely can make ends meet as it is, and now they have to find the funds to bury their child with dignity and love. They have been told it will cost them $10,000 for the simplest of funerals. [UPDATE: After searching high and low, they have found a place in New Jersey that said they can do it for $5,000, thank goodness.] Can you help this heartbroken family say good-bye to their little girl?
