7 Bring me out of prison, so that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me.
2 I pour out my complaint before him; I tell my trouble before him.
5 I cry to you, O Lord; I say, ‘You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.’
6 Give heed to my cry, for I am brought very low. Save me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.

3 When my spirit is faint, you know my way. In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
4 Look on my right hand and see—there is no one who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for me.
Psalm 142 NRSV
1 With my voice I cry to the Lord; with my voice I make supplication to the Lord.

COVID Funeral Assistance
The COVID 19 pandemic has brought overwhelming grief to many families. At FEMA, our mission is to help people before, during and after disasters. We are dedicated to helping ease some of the financial stress and burden caused by the virus.
Under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, FEMA will provide financial assistance for COVID-19-related funeral expenses incurred after January 20, 2020. We are working with stakeholder groups to get their input on ways we can best provide this assistance, and to enlist their help with outreach to families and communities. FEMA will begin to implement COVID-19 funeral assistance in April. Additional guidance is being finalized and will be released to potential applicants and community partners as soon as possible. In the meantime, people who have COVID 19 funeral expenses are encouraged to keep and gather documentation.
