Funeral expenses for 18 years old

Zack Frey was in the backseat of a car and was shot in  the the head , driving away from the crime scene on Union street here in Jackson , Michigan.   To a gas station where emergency personal took him to Henry Ford Allegiance Hospital where he was DOA.  The family is in no position to cover his expenses. I considered Zack my nephew and family. I have made arrangements with Affordable Cremations to handle cremation that will run $975.00     The Jackson Eagles has been kind enough to donate the use of their building and I will officiate the service no matter how difficult this will be for myself.  Zack was a good kid . He was very special to myself and those who loved him. It appears he was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.  I'm begging anyone that can contribute and help this family to please do so . This was so unexpected.  All money raised will be used for cremation and service needs.
