Funeral expenses for James Lewis

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Keisha. I'm here asking for assistance for my aunt. Imagine the police knocking on your door asking you who you are. You're staring at them knowing you did nothing wrong, but just for a moment you wonder. Then you answer, I'm Mrs. Lewis. They say, ma'am, you need to come with us. It's your husband and it's not looking good!! My husband, he just left for the store, ma'am he never made it. WHAT!!

This is my aunt's story. Her husband, Veteran James Lewis, was walking to the store and never returned. He passed out on the way; she found out his heart had stopped while walking. The ambulance was called; he died twice, and they brought him back. The fall caused him to break his jaw. So, her husband, my uncle, went through a lot that day, as did she, waiting for him to return, only to get that knock asking who she was. To be told she needed to be rushed to the hospital, to never hear the voice of her husband again. My uncle succumbed to his injuries and passed shortly after.

So, this GoFundMe was created to ask for assistance with his burial expenses. No amount is too big or too small. She just needs a little. We thank and appreciate you all in advance for even taking the time out to read my aunt's story. My prayer is that you never have to go through this. That you get to see the ones you love tomorrow.
