I'm reaching out today with a heavy heart because our family is facing an unimaginable loss. Melissa, a beloved member of our Berkshire Metis community, has passed away, and her family is struggling to cover the costs of her cremation and transport.

No family should have to carry the burden of funeral expenses alone, especially not when they're grieving. The cremation and transportation costs are adding up quickly, and right now, this family doesn't have the resources to handle these expenses on their own.

I'm asking for your help to ease this financial strain during such a difficult time. Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping Melissa's family give her the respectful goodbye she deserves and the closure they need.

Thank you for considering a donation and for honoring Melissa's memory with us.
