      To be clear, there’s no indication in this article that the family couldn’t afford this. It sounds like they’ve got great family support. It also sounds like this was an activity this 7 year old took up completely independently, not because someone was like “oh no, we can’t afford a tombstone.” The article reads like this 7 year old is using this activity as a really positive way to cope with the loss of her mother, and then their supportive community picked up on it and ran with it.

        You are correct and I just went off the title. I sometimes forget that these are usually articles I can click on.

        The article seems to indicate:

        But that’s not it. Multiple local monument companies reached out to donate a tombstone to the family, and enough money has been raised to pay for her mom’s funeral costs.

        "Karli had not had insurance, and on top of the grief felt from her loss, her family was tasked with thinking of ways to pay for her funeral costs.

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

                I’m sure you can figure it out.

                    That may be the only thing you can do. People with more agency probably wouldn’t feel limited to what is directly spoon fed to them on a social media site.

                    The amount of time you spent posting vapid responses is much more than it would have taken for you to simply confirm the information on your own. But, you do you.
