Unexpected Death Of Husband Need Help With Funeral Costs

My Story:

My household is currently consisting of myself and my 4 dogs. My daughter is grown, married, and lives on her own. I have the brightest grandson who just turned 4 and is a constant in my every day life. My husband recently passed away (as well as my son in late 2016). Before my husbands death, we loved to travel, if we could save up enough to afford it. We loved to spend time together and I tried to get my husband out of the house as much as I could since he was unable to work due to health issues.

My husband of 28 years suddenly passed away due to health complications at the age of 46. Earlier this year, my husband, daughter, and myself buried our son who died 2 days after his 25th birthday. I worked full time as the sole provider for my household until my husband's untimely death in July of 2017. I am seeking Modest Needs' help to pay for my husband's funeral expenses.

If I receive this funding, it will help take the burden of my husbands funeral off my daughter and I's shoulders. It will help give me the chance to get on the right track financially since my husband's illness made us fall behind. I want to stay in my house that I shared with my husband for the last 18 years and where my grandson spent the last 4 years with my husband as he took care of him. It would make the biggest difference in my life and my family's lives.
