Michael Johnson - My Dad's Cremation Costs

Donation protected
My name is Stella and my father is Mike Johnson. I love my father very much but sadly he is at the end of his time here on earth and currently in Hospice End of Life Care at the VA hospital, as dad was a veteran. Despite being a vet, they do not cover the costs of cremation/burial up front. Which is why I am on here.

Dad did not have life insurance and this was not expected in the time frame it happened. I do not have income myself to aid in the cost. My husband was out of work for the past few months, only having received the news he was hired at the same time I heard the news on dad in End of Life.

My mother is a 68 year old retiree. She was forced to retire to be able to take care of dad as he started to decline. She has two children she cares for (a 2 & 6yr old) the the state placed with her for family care, despite knowing she was caretaking my dad. They are not aiding her, and due to dad in end of life she missed sending in a paper and now she is fighting to keep her caretaker funds. She is struggling to afford everything already so does not have the ability to pay this fee.

Which brings me to ask you, good people, to help us out. We appreciate any and everything that you can give, including prayers and well wishes. Anything over this goal would be going to aid mom as she progresses through this hard time. Thank you.

**Edit** Thank you, dad's cremation is now covered. All additional money will be going to my mother to help cover her costs and bills while in mourning. Again we appreciate everything.
