My friends dad just passed away and her family didn't have the money to give him a proper burial. They even went through the govnernment and they refused to help her. My friend and her family had to bury her father thereselves, I mean, dig the hole and everything. They couldn't afford a tombstone either.
I need a way to raise money to purchase a tombstone for their father. Any ideas?

What could you do? Bake cookies? No it's kind of weird to bake cookies for a tombstone. Actually, if i were you, i would appeal to the government. I mean it's only right that a person gets a proper burial and send off with a tombstone. Or you could ask your friends to help chip in to like pay their respect to your friend's dad in a sense.
Btw, i'm sorry about you friend's loss.
I hope she's okay.

I'm afraid that you may be spreading yourself too thin. Headstones are not cheap, and you have enough to worry about right now as it is. It's wonderful that you want to help, but remember that right now your primary responsibility is to yourself and your son. Remember what your Philly says, "There is strength in numbers." Seek out your friends for help with this one. Let them help carry the problems for a while. You might be surprised at what they can do.

Prayer. There is always an oppurtunity in everything. BUt I just pray and let the spirit lead me. Let God work it out. Turn your stress and anxiety over to him. Let Him deal with it
I'm wishing you well and sending love your way. Hope this helps, Warm Regards, and thank you for your question.
