Maybe. Maybe she felt powerless and wanted to do something, anything, to feel like she was contributing during the process. Without more context its hard to say. People act in weird ways when loved ones die, maybe she’s channeling her pain into something productive.
Apparently you just as I did not read the article. After actually reading it, it seems that the girl is just a generous person and likes helping others. Nowhere does it specifically say they did jot have the funds for the tombstone and it might just be her way of coping. The title does still make it sound hella dystopian though.
You’re the type of person this sub targets, buddy.
I’m sure you think the teacher who had to have their colleagues donate sick time so they could be with their child with cancer, or the kid who sold candles to pay for his friend’s wheelchair is heartwarming too.
The whole point is that people having to do stuff like that in the first place is bad, and is the result of a very sick society.
You are right though, this is a wonderful story of community coming together. I think much of the support isn’t really monetary but an outpouring of love trying to help a little girl cope with her loss. But I do agree that no one should have to experience monetary stress in times of crisis. We can all do better all of the time, not just some of the time.

What’s dystopian is a child having to work to pay for their mother’s tombstone in the first place.

Valid point. I wish I could read the article, but I’m not disabling my dns server to do it.

“We started doing stuff to come up with money to cover it all, and Emouree started this little lemonade stand,” Bordner said.

The point is that no child should work to afford ger mothers death.
