Erik's funeral cost

Donation protected
Hi everyone, as many know Erik passed in his sleep on Christmas Eve morning. I went to wake him and he was gone. I had my 16 yr old nephew with me when it happened. We are completely shattered. He was my best friend, soul mate, business partner but mostly my Baby Brother. Erik and I took care of each other. He came out to LA to be with me so we could build a life. He worked so hard and gave his everything. His struggles were mine and mine were his. We didn't have much in the financial sense but we had so much love, laughter, and a bond like no other. I was going to have someone else do this go-fund-me but then I realized it's my responsibility to do this. He had so many friends that love him beyond. His friends were his family and I know many want to help. I need help. I don't have the resources to put this whole funeral together. I am asking for your help. Your funding will cover his casket, burial, and service, and headstone. I will also use the funds to help pay our last remaining bills. We had a few prior private donations and those we're used to getting him home. He will be flown in San Antonio, Texas on the 10th of January and service should follow within 3-4 days. I have about 12 days to make this happen. Please everyone let's give my baby the service he deserves. You will also be helping me tremendously as I mourn. The stress of burying someone is beyond. My heart just can't take anymore. I will say this the night before Erik passed. Jaden and I watched a movie together and told him we loved him and went to sleep. I do find some solace in that. Knowing he was with his nephew and me till his last breath. If you can't donate please share and mostly Pray. Pray for my sister, nephew, and niece, and all the beautiful friends and family mourning Erik.
