Request for donations (1 Viewer)

[MikeIke]

Hello,  FFA.  I don't make this request lightly. I have a dear friend,  we'll call her Weezy, whose 26-year old sister died unexpectedly this week.  My sons are good friends with Weezy's daughter,  she is at my house almost every day after school.  

The family is not in good shape financially. They are unable to afford a burial so they are going with a cremation. They couldn't afford embalming so the viewing had to be done quickly.  A coffin made of cardboard will be used,  because that's all they can afford. 

The family has set up a GoFundMe page to deal with costs associated with the service.  I have given Weezy what I can,  but it's not enough. 

I humbly ask the FFA to give a few dollars to this family.  You won't get anything in return,  apart from knowing that you did a good thing to help a family who needed it. 

I've seen the power of the FFA in various online polls and contests,  now I ask to see that same strength given to a family that really needs it. 

Thank you for your consideration.

If it helps,  Weezy is a hot blonde with a Southern accent. Won't you please help the hottie?

Thank you everyone.  I have a feeling the $300 and another  $100 were from someone here. Truly,  FBG's are terrific people.

Bump for the weekday crowd. The support you guys have given is truly humbling.

Saturday the daughter was at my house and she was talking about how her mom had set up this webpage for donations. She said they asked for $5,000 but honestly would be really happy with $1,000. I just winked at my wife and didn't mention what the FBG's have done. The total is now up to $1,535.

The FFA is pretty cool for a variety of reasons, but especially for things like this.

Thanks to all the donations,  Weezy was able to get an upgraded casket for the viewing.  Thankfully a cardboard box was not needed.  Here is her message to everyone who helped :

Hello everyone. Just wanted to update. We had a nice private family viewing for Peaches. We were able to get an upgraded viewing container for her.. And I'm so thankful. To see a loved one in nothing more than a plain cardboard box.. Would have been difficult to see. She looked good, considering. White shirt, pink scarf, her long blonde hair spread out nicely on her pillow. We miss her.I wanted to thank all of you who gave and sent love our way. You r giving made her service possible. So thank you all from our hearts. I'll be closing this fundraiser as of tomorrow. Hopefully.. I'll be able to pick up her urn tomorrow.Thank you all.. I can't say enough. God bless.
