After her 4-year-old son, Mychal Moultry Jr., was shot in the city while visiting his father during the Labor Day weekend, Angela Gregg’s family had to pay $13,000 for funeral expenses.Gregg would have liked to have her son buried; she settled for cremation instead.“The money was not there,” Gregg said Monday, speaking at St. Sabina Church on the South Side.Gregg said she’s applied for state funding intended to help victims of gun violence but is still waiting to be reimbursed.“Every child deserves to grow up free from gun violence, but when their innocent lives are cut short … families are left to grieve. This is too much tragedy,

Wrong direction. How about a fund to track down and kill the perpetrators of gun violence and to sue any judge or DA who released them on bail!

She may have paid $13,000 but she didn’t have to pay that sum. Something awry.

They better get Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos to sign up as donors.

Normally Father Pfleger is front and center on this kind of stuff as he is more of a media whore Social Justice Warrior than a priest. Why hasn't he offered to pay for some of these funerals out of his churches and "cause" funds? I feel bad for the people need to bury their children. They should also be banging on the door of their useless Mayor, Lori Lightfoot to foot the bill as the shootings are partially the result of her inactions on the shooting problems and non support of the police.

Sure. As long as they bury those who were murdered by having to take the vax.

The loss of a young innocent child is tragic. $13,000 for cremation is a lot.

Chicago does not have a problem with guns. It has a problem with violent black gang bangers who use guns to kill lots of innocent people every year.
All they have to do is shut down the gangs, and suddenly the "gun violence" would be miniscule. But, of course, they can't do that out of fear of being labeled as "racists" for going after the gangs who are 100% black!!! So instead go after legal gun owners who have nothing (zero, zilch, nada) to do with all the gun violence!!!! Lie-beral "logic" at its most insane!!!

Grab back some of the "parkland" signed over to the "Obama Presidential Cathedral" for use as a cemetery, have gangbangers from the Jail holding cells dig the holes, have the caskets made in the Prison Carpentry shop..and the magnet school/job training centers. All other costs earmarked from seized gang assets sold at auction, confiscated funds. Just the diamond ear rings, pricey watches, chains bracelets "Bling" alone should cover most of the dead kids....the confiscated Chargers, Challengers, BMW's, Benzes alone should cover several years worth in advance.

BLM has more money than they know what to do with. They bought a mansion in Canada formerly owned by communist party

Chit-Congo don't need Gun Control.
Chit-Congo needs THUG CONTROL, and a DA who will DO THEIR JOB!
BLM has $60 MILLION$ in the bank, and no-one in charge, apparently.
The Marxist founders looted a few Mill$ for themselves, then skedaddled.

$13000 for a cremation just does not sound correct. Maybe she bought a solid gold urn. That’s tacky even for me.

Fund the police, get rid of your soft on crime Soros DA, prosecute criminals for real. Maybe her child would still be alive.
I find it sickening the answer to rising crime in blue areas killing children is to give them free funerals.

Nancy Pelosi is running four a 19th term for the children. Let’s see if she steps up with some money to bury the dead ones. She donates to Planned Parenthood to kill babies so this is another opportunity to show her true concern for the children.

Just confiscate the pay of all politicians that allow the murders.

Of course they will let taxpayers pay for this. Taxpayers already pay the hospital bills when they shoot each other or when they pass out on the street from too much dope. What's a little more!

Tragic, but... If cremation is good enough for me, it's good enough for them.
