Help with Jared's Funeral Expenses

Donation protected
I'm Julia, Aunt Julia to my beloved nephew, Jared William Lounsbury who died suddenly, May 6, 2021, a week before his 23rd birthday.  
I am hoping to raise funds for his funeral which even when expected is expensive, but when it is sudden, the cost is devastating and debilitating. 
His funeral is estimated at $9000 and is due Wednesday May 12th, 2021. Commerce waits for no man...
I started this fundraiser to help my mother, Kate Johnson pay for this heartbreaking and unexpected loss as it will be extremely difficult. 

 He was preceded in death by his mother, Amy Johnson and has been lovingly raised and nurtured by his "nonna" Kate Johnson and his Godfather, Peter Pagano since he was a wee babe.

My husband Alexandr and I just gotten to see Jared and my mom before Covid 19 hit in 2020.  It was the first time Jared had met "Uncle Alexandr" and they were smitten with each other!  I had not gotten to visit the family for quite a few years!  Little did I know it was the last time I would ever see him alive. Jared was a lively funny and great company. We took a trip to the Smithsonian in Corning, NY and he was such a pleasure to hang out with.  He showed me around Wellsboro and made me laugh with his witticisms!  We shared taste in music and TV shows and, like me, he loved geology. 
Jared had a sunny disposition and was full of kindness for everybody. He was a WWII history buff and was planning visits to WWII sites in Europe. His dream was to become a history professor. He was so happy in Wellsboro, PA. He had a job and coworkers he loved, and the beauty and nature of a small town.
