Help Lay Johnny Boy to Rest

My family and I are being hit left and right right now; we are the last people on planet earth to ask for help but unfortunately this is a battle we cannot fight alone. On January 15, 2012, my brother Johnny was in a terrible accident; he was hit by a tow truck driver who happened to be speeding and on his cell phone. My brother wasn't even 20 years old yet; that accident left him in a coma for 7 years. For 7 years that guy hung on; still smiling his now toothless smile and showing us in the most surprising of ways that he was still in there, still goofball Johnny. For 7 years we too hung on; hung on to the hope that my brother was gonna just hop out of bed one day and everything would be okay. Sadly, that day never came; I want to say that it won't ever come but that's not true. He's up there right now, laughing, talking, walking; doing all the things he hasn't been able to do in 7 years. In the beginning of May, Johnny got really sick and was eventually placed on hospice when his treatment started having the opposite effect on him; he had pancreatitis, got sepsis, and his organs started shutting down. He was given 2 weeks and I did everything in my power to bring him home with me so he could be at peace and comfort when he passed; we had 5 days with him at home and man, I'd give anything for 5 more minutes. So, because of the accident, my brother had a special needs trust set up for him; when he passed, our instruction was to go ahead and plan everything and send his trust the bill. We did that and were basically told "NO" they were not paying "that." As of yesterday, 3 days before we are supposed to bury my brother, my mom is being told she needs to pick another date because NOTHING has been paid for. We are now having to scrape and scrounge to give my brother the goodbye he so rightfully deserves because going through litigation to fight this will only prolong things and add to the trauma; they don't even want to pay for him to be buried in a tux. I have the florist calling me every day telling me they can't deliver things for us because of non-payment. My grandparents are asking for money for the food for his reception; we don't have it. We don't have anything.  We have to pick another headstone on top of wondering if there will even be a funeral. I'm just so floored and my mind blown over all of this; no one else involved in the accident was told how they could spend their portion of the settlement and the fact that a man in a coma for 7 years was only awarded $500,000...that's peanuts for him considering the circumstances. It hurts my heart so bad having to write all of this down but man, I just want my brother to have the best since it was all taken from him. I wish you all could have met him; he was the most sweet, respectful, and humble person I know. While we no longer have my brother, he blessed us with his son who is just so lucky to have every bit of my brother's love and personality in him.

Anything, and I mean anything, helps. Thank you for all the love, kindness, and support you've all given us over the last 7 years; you guys have no idea what it means.
