I wish so much I had the money to just pay for this entire fundraiser. I’ve donated twice. Our family has been there – wondering how to pay for a funeral for a loved one. It’s heartbreaking.

How is it possible that Bills fans donate $700,000 to children’s hospital in honor of our QB grandmothers passing (don’t get me wrong, this is amazing!) But this man lost his job and his father to COVID and just needs enough $ for a funeral and only a little over $2000 has been raised?

Here’s the original story.

Listen. It devastates me to hear of families not being able to afford funerals for their loved ones.

From Nick:

Been keeping up with Emmanuel. Can’t afford his fathers funeral costs still. He’s looking to try to have a funeral on December 12 or have arraignments by then.

I want to say thank you to people who have reached out to help. Someone sent groceries on Thanksgiving. He’s grateful.

I’ve reached out to Erie County social services, which has a program that appears to help direct burial services up to $900. I’ve also reached out to Lakeside Memorial and Greco Funeral Home in Kenmore. When they reach back, I plan on writing a story about how the process works.

Side Update on the Update.

GET WELL SOON NICK.
