St. Paul, Minnesota – Meng Vang, a cherished member of his family, passed away unexpectedly over the Labor Day weekend. His sudden death has left his family heartbroken and struggling to cope with both the emotional loss and the financial burden of funeral expenses.
The family, still reeling from the loss of their mother in May, is now facing additional financial challenges, as neither Meng nor his mother had life insurance. This has placed significant strain on the family as they prepare for Meng’s memorial service, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday, October 6, 2024, at Koob Moo Funeral Chapel in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Salene Yang, who is organizing a GoFundMe fundraiser, shared that any contribution, no matter the size, would provide much-needed relief during this challenging time. The fundraiser, titled "Help Us Honor Meng Vang’s Memory," aims to raise $5,000 to cover funeral and burial costs. As of yesterday, the fundraiser has raised $65 from three donors: Yer Xiong contributed $25, Albert Vang donated $20, and an anonymous donor gave $20.
Ka Vang also posted on Facebook, saying, "It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our cherished brother, Meng Vang, over the Labor Day weekend. As we prepare for his funeral, we are confronted with financial challenges due to the lack of insurance coverage."
Meng’s family expressed their deep appreciation for the love and support they have received during this difficult time. They hope to give Meng the dignified farewell he deserves, with the help of the community.
