Help spare a grieving family the financial stress of a funeral. Every donation to The Frankie Fund makes a difference.

📈 Our Impact So Far

• In our first four years, we’ve supported over a dozen families, covering final expenses.
• While maximum assistance can reach $2,500, our average payout is around $750 per family. With your help, that average can grow – allowing us to aid even more families in crisis.

🕓 Why It Matters: Child Loss in America

• In 2023, 22,841 children and teens (ages 1-19) died in the U.S. – a mortality rate of 29 deaths per 100,000; this reflects a 16% rise since 2019.
• Every single hour—a child passes away somewhere in America. This translation: thousands of families endured this tragedy just this year, and funeral costs compound their grief.

💵 Funeral Costs: Too High to Bear

• A traditional funeral with viewing and burial now averages around $7,800–$8,300, while even cremation-inclusive services commonly cost $6,000–$7,000.
• For infant funerals, basic costs often range from $3,000 to $12,000.
• No family should be forced to choose between grief and expenses.
