Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,

It is with profound sadness that our family reaches out to you today during an incredibly difficult time. Our beloved Scott is in the ICU, and we are currently in the difficult and heartbreaking process of preparing for his end-of-life journey. This sudden and heartbreaking turn has left us all stunned and grappling with immense grief.

As we focus on being present with Scott and each other during these precious final moments, we are also facing the unexpected and substantial financial burden of impending funeral and burial expenses.

In Jewish tradition, laying our loved ones to rest quickly and with dignity is a sacred mitzvah. We want to honor Scott's memory with a proper funeral and burial, which will provide our family with the necessary closure and space to mourn.

We are humbly asking for your support to help us raise $25,000 to cover these essential costs. All donations will directly cover Scott's transfer, mortuary services, burial plot, casket, funeral service, and other related funeral/burial expenses. All funds raised will be withdrawn directly by Scott's brother, Matthew, who is responsible for paying all costs directly.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a profound difference and bring us closer to our goal. Your generosity will ensure that Scott receives a respectful farewell, easing the burden on our grieving family during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for considering our plea. Your compassion and support mean the world to us.

With deepest gratitude,

The Schwartz Family
