Laying Bhakti to Rest

NOTE: See update below this.
Original Post:
Beloved friend and wife, Bhakti (Brecken Chinn), died unexpectedly in her sleep in the early morning hours of November 1 in Shenzhen, China. As a friend, I am assisting Bhakti's husband, Marriah, in raising funds so that he can bring Bhakti's body back to the United States. He knows that it is Bhakti's wish to have a memorial so that her friends can pay their respects before she is cremated and laid to rest. This fundraiser is being done with his permission and at his request.
The cost to bring Bhakti's body home is shockingly $14,000. Along with returning her property here to the United States, Marriah needs to raise an estimated $18,000-20,000. He doesn't have the means. Marriah reports that the American Consulate does not help pay for any of these expenses. A Tucson-based funeral home is assisting Marriah with the legal paperwork; however, his immediate needs are to raise funds ASAP for Bhakti. This is even more time sensitive as Marriah's business visa is set to expire.
Since Marriah is in China, it is complicated for him to set up a fundraiser so I am doing it on his behalf. 100% of your donations will be personally deposited by me into his local bank account. Please help bring Brecken back home.
Thank you.
