Help Q be buried next to his son

Short story: We are completely broke & without donations Q will not be able to be buried next to his son, Kai, or have a proper funeral/showing for everyone to come say their goodbyes. I cannot accept the idea of having to cremate him simply because we can’t afford to bury him. (And no, the military is not covering costs I have spoken to his former 1st sergeant already.)

Long story: Q, Philly, myself & Beau had to leave our family home months ago when we could no longer afford to keep utilities on & the home was in foreclosure. Q went to stay with his grandma while myself and the kids went to my parents house. It was INCREDIBLY hard on Q and myself being apart after being so used to living together for years. The plan was always to have our little family back together under one roof. I finally made the gut wrenching decision to sell the house and try to make some money (instead of letting it go to Sheriff’s Auction). The first day of listing we got offers for much more than what I originally paid for the house. For the first time in a long time, we had hope. Finally. We were going to be together again. We spent lots of days together over the next few weeks cleaning out the house. I’m so thankful for those extra days together now. This little lump sum from being forced to sell our house was giving us a light at the end of the tunnel.

Or so we thought, just a week before closing (days before his death) I received news that the bank was adding so many extra fees & interest charges that we would now owe money on the house instead of making any money at all. Hearing the news myself & then telling Q was like stomping out any hope he had of being under the same roof soon. I think he lost hope for the future in that moment & threw in the towel. Already suffering from depression, I believe he relapsed because he just wanted even an hour where he felt at peace & didn’t feel like life was crushing him. Q would tell me & Philly he loved us every single day. He would never leave that little girl fatherless on purpose. I know even now he’s still checking in on her, now while holding Kai bear in his arms.

Please help us lay Q to rest next to his son. Let him finally have the peace he was always unable to find on earth but so desperately seeking.
