Help with Upcoming Burial Costs for Melisa Sopke

UPDATED GOAL: Since we hit our most basic goal of a graveside service, we have updated it to include an open casket funeral. 

My sister Melisa Sopke is close to going home to be with the Lord.

She is in the final stages of liver failure, fading in and out of consciousness, and on hospice. She has always lived a modest life and doesn't have much to her name. On behalf of our mom, Teresa, we are raising funds to help provide her a simple yet proper burial.

I have never done a GoFundMe before, as I always do my best to raise as much funding as possible to make things happen. Unfortunately, this is beyond what I can handle on my own. A couple of ministries/churches have already donated towards the costs; however, we are still short about $4.5k. Would you consider donating to this need?

With a Breaking Heart and Sincere Gratitude,

Chriss Sopke Sr.
