Elsie Hendricks, a beloved grandmother from Lorain, OH, has passed away, leaving her family heartbroken and facing unexpected financial challenges. Despite her best intentions, Elsie, who was 90 years old and still working part-time as a cashier at Giant Eagle, had only a term life insurance policy that expired in 2020. She had made provisions for her burial plot and headstone, but the family has now discovered they are short on funds for the funeral itself.
A fundraiser organized by her granddaughter, Kristy Helbig-Runt, aims to support the family in covering the funeral costs. So far, $620 has been raised through four donations, including contributions from Simone Edelheit, Angel Yacko, Madison Hendricks, and an anonymous donor. The family is grateful for any support as they navigate this difficult time. They have already managed to gather enough funds for a down payment on the funeral expenses, but the total costs still exceed what they have available.
Kristy expressed how much her grandmother believed everything was in place for her final arrangements and emphasized how Elsie would never have wanted to leave this burden on her loved ones. The family has opted for the least expensive options for her funeral, and Kristy’s uncle is exploring the possibility of taking out a loan to help cover the remaining costs.
The Hendricks family deeply appreciates any donations, no matter how small, as they try to honor Elsie’s memory and alleviate the financial strain they now face.
We extend our thoughts and prayers to the Hendricks family during this incredibly difficult time.
