      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.
