Howard and Rideout Family Funeral

Dear friends, family and colleagues:

On behalf of the Rideout/Howard family, we would like to thank you for your generosity: your donations and your prayers. Because of your generosity, we were able to lay our loved ones to Rest In Peace. Your contributions helped significantly and allowed us to cover the related costs. We know that God has been at the center as we are overwhelmed and overjoyed with the many expressions of love shown to us. We pray God’s blessings over your life. We ask that you continue to pray with us as we pray with you.

As the cousin of Dominique Chantelle Rideout, daughter of her aunt on her mother's side, I come to you today heavy in heart and spirit at the loss off the Howard Family: Dominique Chantelle Rideout 29, her husband: Evan Howard, 28, and three children: Nayla Howard, 4, Nehemiah Howard, 8, and Nathaniel Howard, 9, who died after they were killed in an early morning apartment fire in Arkansas on Sunday. As investigations are still underway, we are not aware of the cause of the fire.
 
Losing any family member, friend or loved one is never easy but losing an entire family of loved ones all at once is devastating.
 
We, as a family, are soliciting your prayers and thoughts but also are in need, as covering the costs of our 5 loved ones has presented a great financial challenge to our family.
 
Based on related research, information received, and other projections, estimated costs to lay to rest all five family members will be approximately $50,000.  Costs would cover:
 
-       Transportation of remains
-       Embalming or Cremation
-       Caskets
-       Burial Plots
-       Funeral Service Fees
-       Viewing
-       Burial Service Fees
 
I have started a go-fund me to assist in funding as possible. Any amount counts. No donation is too small or too large. We are extremely grateful for every donation during this difficult time.
 
Please note that the Robinson Mortuary located at 6400 Mabevale Pike, Little Rock Arkansas 72209, will be servicing our loved ones that we lost.
 
If financial support is not a current option, we ask that you pray and pray and continue praying for our family and loved ones.

**Please note that any additional funds remaining after covering all expenses will be donated to Autism Speaks Organization in memory of Nathaniel Howard**

We thank you for your Prayers, Love and Generosity. 
 
With Love,
 
The Rideout/Howard Family
