Assist Nelson's Family with Burial Expenses
Donation protected
My name is Steven Meyers, and I am the step-father of Nelson John Alston Jr. He is the son of veteran parents. Nelson was a mentally disabled person who had contracted diabetes from one of his medications, which damaged his pancreas. Eventually, the diabetes attacked his kidneys until they failed. He was diagnosed with kidney failure about three months ago and referred to hospice. On the third day of hospice, he suffered a heart attack. Rescue was called, but his heart was not revived. He was pronounced dead on the 9th of December.
Now, his disabled mother is trying to bury him. She is disabled and doesn't have the funds to bury him. We thought he was insured but found out his policy lapsed. We tried to have him buried as a military dependent, but not all the documentation is readily available. He has been a dependent of his mother all his life. His mental illness was diagnosed at 17 years of age. We will have to bury him until this can be confirmed. We just don't have the funds. We would appreciate any funds donated. Thank you.
