Support Sonja After Gregory’s Sudden Passing

Donation protected
My name is Sonja, and I am reaching out during the most difficult time of my life. On July 3, 2025, my beloved husband Gregory Johnson passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm. Just a few months before, Gregory was laid off from his job, which meant his life insurance was cancelled. When this tragedy struck, we were left without any coverage, and I am now facing the overwhelming costs of his funeral and burial on my own.


Gregory was a shining light to everyone who knew him. He was kind, caring, and always willing to go the extra mile for others. Even after losing his job, he worked tirelessly doing food deliveries to help us get by, and his customers loved him for his dedication and warmth. Gregory was the person who would give his last to help someone in need, always seeing the good in people and believing that everyone has a purpose in this world. He stood by my side through my battles with cancer, never wavering in his support, and was my rock through every surgery, treatment, and difficult day. His love and strength made the world a better place, and he is deeply missed by me, his nieces and nephews, and everyone whose lives he touched.


The funeral home in Chicago, IL, has given me a list of expenses for Gregory’s service, burial, and repast that I simply cannot afford, especially as I am still recovering from my own medical treatments. On top of these costs, I am struggling to keep up with everyday bills and medical expenses. Without Gregory, making ends meet is even harder. I am asking for help to give Gregory the dignified farewell he deserves and to help me get through this dark and uncertain time. Any support you can offer will make a difference and is deeply appreciated.
