Hello Everyone,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Araceli and I am the Founder and President of the Funeral Relief Fund. It is my goal and the goal of the organization that we help people who are in need by paying for funeral expenses. The loss of a loved one is terrible, confusing, and a lot to manage with or without the added stress of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. With your help, we can ease the burden for some of the families trying to figure out how to afford the costs associated with a death. On average, the cost of a funeral service with a burial is about $8,000- $10,000.
Being able to have a service, big or small, traditional or minimal, religious or scientific, is a very important part of the grieving process. We don't want families to miss this first step in dealing with their grief.

Every donation will help us achieve the goal of helping our community in their time of greatest need. Please consider donating using the link below or email me at [email protected] for other ways to donate.

Sincerely,

Araceli Ruiz
Founder, President
Funeral Relief Fund

Araceli: I want this organization to allow people to grieve however they need to. Money shouldn't be a reason that people miss out on this essential part of the grieving process.

People being unable to gather or see the bodies of people who died of COVID-19 is having profound psychological effects that will last for years, says psychologist Christy Denckla of Harvard.
