LaDeisha Thomas
Donation protected
Dear Family, Friends, and Nashville Community,
It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing the sudden death of LaDeisha Thomas and her unborn child. For those of you who knew her, you knew her to be a mighty woman. The love Deisha had for her children was limitless patience. Unfortunately, at only 33, LaDeisha and her unborn child lost their life. Losing a parent at an early age can have long term consequences that cannot be ignored. This is why the continued support and unconditional love from both friends and family must continue. There is something about losing a mother that is permanent and inexpressible.
As you can imagine, the families were not prepared for the financial burden that comes along with a proper funeral service and burial. These include both Deisha and her unborn child. That is why I, and both the Thomas and McElrath families, are reaching out to you in hopes that you will show your support for our loved ones who lost their lives this month.
So that you understand and know exactly where your donation will be used, we are planning a modest but proper ceremony. Every little bit helps. An itemized list of spending is below:
1. Funeral home and associated costs. ceremony, embalming, staffing, hearse or car services, printed materials, music selection. up to $18,000 (mother and child)
2. Burial or cremation costs. casket, urn, or plot. up to $2, 000 (mother and child)
3. Flowers, food, and reception/respite. up to $5000
4. Nest egg for five surviving children until 18 years old. $50,000
