Needs Help for Dad's Cremation

Donation protected
I am the daughter of Jonathan Wesley Richardson. I've created this in hopes of being able to raise enough money to at least get him cremated and set to rest. On the night of Tuesday, June 24, 2025, my father John passed away in a home due to a heart attack. Wednesday morning, a friend of his reached out to me and notified me of what had happened. Truthfully, I'm everywhere. Death has never been easy for anyone, let alone losing a father. Growing up, he wasn't there not because he chose not to be but because he battled alot himself. Its a complicated long story. He wasn't perfect no one is. John had his struggles, had dreams, had goals. Five years ago, I found him, reconnected, and started to build our relationship. I felt a lot of pressure being released, the air in my lungs lifted. I didn't have enough time to tell him everything. I didn't have enough time to tell him who his child has become or what my hopes and dreams were. I didn't have enough time to thank him for the past five years of him trying so hard to get to know me when he didn't have to. I'm struggling myself. I don't know how to do any of this or how to even proceed, but I do want to provide one lasting gift to him: His final peace. I work part-time and don't get many hours nor have much to get him cremated and sent to me as I'm in a different state than he is. If anyone can help me be able to put him to rest, it will be greatly appreciated. Even just a dollar helps. Anything helps. I just don't want to leave him cold and alone when I know I can at least make a way for him to rest properly. Right now he's being held at the Hinds county morgue and I'm currently coordinating with a funeral home. Again anything helps. I just want him to be cremated and sent to me.
