All the money that should have gone to this months bills has been swallowed, and it will be gone until Daddy's....jesus, I have to call it his estate now, comes through. Then, oh Coyote help me, I have to arrange a veterans funeral, and try to find a way to fly three-thousand miles to be AT his funeral, take care of his house and all his worldly

I don't know if these will help, but here are some suggestions:

1. Call the power company, explain your father's death and the money situation, and ask if they would be willing to extend a little longer under the circumstances.

2. Call the Veteran's Administration and ask if they can do anything to help with the funeral arrangements, transport, etc. You may find that some of that will be automatically taken care of, and that there is a standard procedure you can fall back on.

I don't get paid until tomorrow, but I will see if I can contribute something; like your other friends, we're just squeaking by, but at least I HAVE a job. It won't be much, but I'll do the best I can.

Yes, this. The VA may even have a fund to pay for many of the funeral expenses.

I don't have a lot, but I'll send what I can for now :)

THIS, oh gods this.

I don't have any money I can give at the moment (maybe on payday [friday]), but I was going to say as per the power bill... a lot of companies, especially if you don't make a habit of being late on payments, are (surprisingly) willing to work with you or give extensions if you just call and talk to them about it.

Good luck, Grace. We love you. *hugs*

You don't know me, but a friend (cityofdis) reposted on your behalf.

Firstly, my condolences for your loss- you and yours are in my prayers, and i very much hope his memory is a blessing to you. Second, I'll be donating what I can on payday (Friday)- its least I can do for a friend and a Vet.

Definitely get ahold of the VA. many costs for a veterans funeral can be reimbursed or covered by VA benefits, and you should contact The VA for help. All veterans are entitled to burial in a national cemetery, a grave marker (regardless of the cemetery), and a flag. There will be no charges for opening or closing the grave, a vault or liner, or setting the marker in a national cemetery. With things being as difficult as they are given the circumstance, every little bit helps.

I'll pass the link on to my unit as well.

Sorry it took me so long to repost and comment. I've pinged my f-list, and I hope they come through with some help.

*hugs*

I am thinking about you. I love you. I wish I could help more. Oh, god, I wish I could help more.
