I think your question is fair. A lot of times in these fundraisers I see verbiage about the money helping to support the family in this difficult time. It could be for lost wages for a little while if he was sending some home, it could be for counseling which is not affordable for many people. I don’t think the money goal was explicitly calculated based on specific costs, but would be enough to cover other externalities of losing a loved one.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. The meta for this is changing and it’s useful to know what other people in your area are doing. I appreciated this post.

1. 10% usually
2. Don’t order delivery often but I feel like $5-$10 would be reasonable
3. 20%
