Honor Blake Adkins with a Headstone

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Cristina Thomas and my nephew Blake Adkins got sick three years ago from Covid. He never really regained his life after that. He suffered for two years with a bad heart, needing a heart transplant. He went through a lot of pain and suffering. He lost toes and he couldn’t do the things he could do before. He couldn’t do sports or anything like that. He never ever got sick in his life until this happened. Then, two years later after the Covid, he got home. He was put in the hospital multiple times from being sick and not being able to breathe due to his heart and his lungs. Then, he was picked up by a squad and put into the hospital for cardiac arrest. Sadly to say, Blake never made it home, but he gave part of his life to save other lives. He was an organ donor and he gave his kidneys to save a young lady’s life.

I guess what I’m asking here for is maybe some donations for his burial because it’s not all the way paid off and he does not have a headstone. His family doesn’t really have anything. So, me, his aunt, is trying to get help to lay him to rest in a good way. He deserves this. I would appreciate all the help I can get towards the cost. I can’t bear to see him at the graveside without things being paid for, and I’m trying really hard and seem to not get help from others. So, I’m reaching out in hopes that someone can find it in their heart to help at least get him a headstone before it turns a year that he will be gone. It would be the best Christmas gift we could give him since he gave part of his life to save others. At least I can try to do is give him a proper place to rest.
