Families in our communities go without proper food, shelter, and essential medical care every day due to a variety of factors including but not limited to low wages, job loss, injuries, illness, age, domestic violence, and nature disasters. While all of us are susceptible to hard times, there is one thing that we all can not escape, death and as family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers and strangers, at some point we will loose our lives. Burial arrangement remains the responsibility of the living. Most families living in poverty can not afford the burial process. It takes a long time before they have resources to provide a decent burial to there departed loved one.
As President of Mission Aid Project, I created a special fund to sponsor burials.
