Help for my wife's reception and funeral expenses

Donation protected
In Hurricane Ida I lost my wife on 09/02/2021 instantly in flood that had electric current. Her friend from Walmart dropped her near my house that was one minute walk. When she came near bridge walking , in water there was electric current. I lost my wife within fraction of second that I never imagined or thought or expected. My wife and I were married for 32 years and we both started from zero and it took us 18 years and 10 months to become American. We fought our battle from India from nothing to become American for decades and decades. My wife loved America too much. She worked incredibly hard at Walmart for 7 years at Woodbridge, New Jersey. Woodbridge Township Mayor Visited my house and gave me $2000 dollars check totally saying $1000 dollars is from Woodbridge Township Fund + $1000 dollars from his own hard earned salary that he matched 100 percent with Woodbridge Township Fund, New Jersey. It has been biggest shock for me and my son who is in India and I am left alone with all of you to support me in times of intense grief.
My dream is to get her reception done.  I also want to give back to Team Aid that helped me lots for getting funeral done on time. And Redcross two ladies visited my house on Saturday 09/11/2021 and said Redcross can give $1500 dollars in few weeks. Funeral costed me around $4500 dollars and there are lots of other expenses that I incurred. Money has been our toughest and intense challenge from the day we got married till now and we were fighting our battle to back on track and suddenly within less than a minute I lost my hardest hard working lovely wife when she said to her friend she can make to my home in a minute and never made to home. I am humbled with kind of support I am receiving morally but ultimately everything has cost and price to pay. Requesting your whole hearted support and contribution is optional , only if you wish to contribute please do so else I never liked begging money . If I make money on my own reception of my wife can be done after two months or so . Thanks lot for reading my heartbreaking story and I pray God no man in the world should go through this loss within a minute. The moment she put down her feet in water that had electric current instantly she lost because water is good conductor of electricity. There is no way to save human life if there is electric current in water and even one who wants to save can also loose life instantly. Be careful and mindful in flood and walking in flood because it is not only flood but heavy wind that broke trees, houses, businesses buildings and electric poles. My kind request is to strictly follow advisories from News and set up alert on your phone. I told millions of times to my wife never start from Walmart , her colleague who dropped her told her to stay in her house and her Walmart colleagues who attended funeral also told not go out of Walmart but my wife thought she can made it and never made it. No idea if God loved her more than myself or she paid price of not listening and lost her life.
