Honoring Chris Green: Help Us Fulfill His Final Wish

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Chris Green, my mom Pam’s partner of 15 years. Chris left us suddenly on December 12, 2024, at the age of 58 due to liver failure. His loss has been devastating, and we are now facing the unexpected challenge of covering the costs of his burial.

Chris believed he had prepared for this moment with a $10,000 life insurance policy, but we recently discovered that the policy only covers accidental death. This heartbreaking realization has left us scrambling to fulfill his final wishes.

Chris, a devout Catholic, was an altar boy at St. John Paul II Catholic Parish in Mount Olive, IL, and it was his wish to be buried at the plot he purchased in Mount Olive. We are determined to honor his request and give him the dignified farewell he deserves.

We are reaching out to ask for your kindness and support during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward the expenses for his funeral and burial. Your generosity will not only help us lay Chris to rest but will also provide some solace as we navigate this overwhelming loss.

Thank you for taking the time to hear our story. Even if you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign would mean so much to us. Your kindness and compassion remind us that we are not alone in this journey.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Nichole, Pam Coad, and the Green Family

In care of Chris Green

Update 12-16-24 a portion of the bill was paid directly to the funeral home. Because of this we are halfway to our goal! I reduced the goal amount to reflect what is still needed. Thank you all so much for your support. We truly appreciate you.
