I am assisting a family in Florida who recently experienced an unexpected death of a child. The family is unable to pay for funeral expenses. They receive government assistance for rent, food and medical insurance. My organization is going to assist with some of the costs, but we have a limit of $2K in financial assistance. I'm trying to help the family find additional financial assistance to pay for the funeral and burial. I helped them submit an application with The Tears Foundation, but they have not heard back from anyone there. Does anyone have other suggestions? It looks like the county will provide assistance if the individual is unclaimed, but this is not the case. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

My family has roughly a 6-hour layover in Newark on a Wednesday in May - land at 9:30 AM and take off at 4:55 PM for an international flight. We're considering leaving the airport to visit the 9/11 Museum/Memorial. We can get 11:00 tickets to the museum. Is this crazy to consider and would we be pushing it to make it back by 3:00? Our bags will be checked through and we have TSA Pre Check. If you think it's possible, do you recommend taking the train vs. a taxi/Uber? Thanks in advance for your input.

EDIT: Thanks for all the replies! While it sounds like you might be able to swing it if everything went PERFECTLY, there are just too many risks involved. We will save this visit for another time when we can give it the time and effort it deserves. Appreciate the input.
