Honor Jackie's Kindness with a Proper Burial

Donation protected
Hello everyone and God bless each and everyone of you my name is Cheryl and I had a friend named Jackie Robinson, I haven’t spoke to in six weeks when I went to say happy birthday, which was August 12 they told me he had passed away a few weeks ago. I just started crying because , we were friends, but we didn’t always talk. Every week , he was bedridden for the last few years because he weighed almost 700 pounds, my heart melts for him. He has a kind heart and he would feed the people in his building. They knocked on his door. He would tell them to come in. I didn’t realize why he couldn’t walk to the door, but he would give them food and money whatever he had , I have I tried to contact family members? I heard that a few family members had passed away. His brother is mentally disabled and was just talking crazy to me, but he sent me all kind of cases and numbers and Case files. I was Heart broken even more , when I found out his body was still in Cook County morgue , they didn’t have anything to bury him with . my heart just melts because I don’t have anything to bury him with. My heart melts for him. He was such a kind person. I’m asking anybody who has a heart if you would give 5 $ $10 $50 whatever you can afford . I want to be able to get his body out of the morgue and give him a service. Please help. I’m a very honest person and want to just do right by him. This is the only photo I have to show you the size of Jackie somewhat. I don’t have a date that I would contact the funeral home because we don’t have funds so I’m gonna put any date. Thank you all.
