Please Help Us Lay Craig To Rest

Ok Craig Simons 8/22/79 - 11/4/22

I am starting a go fund me in hopes of raising my friend and her family some financial support towards her brothers funeral. She is 38, and he, Craig Simons was 43, and he died unexpectedly on Friday afternoon. Craig lived by himself and didn't have any life insurance in place; he had just been approved for disability early last week and never even got to receive a check. They lost their parents in 2014 and 2016. She has two children, a son, 21 who attends Mount Union, and a daughter, 14 who is in the 8th grade. They and their immediate family lived in Alliance their whole lives. They do have a brother than lives in Massillon, but travels often for work and is currently driving home from Oregon for the services. It's hard losing a loved one, especially a sibling. It makes it even harder to handle when you don't have the funds on hand. On average, a traditional funeral costs at minimum of about $10,000. She was able to put $1500 down that was required to transfer him to the funeral home. However, before they will sit with her to make arrangements they require the whole funeral cost up front. If anyone could donate anything please consider helping out this family.
