The total bill came out to around $20,000, according to the Sun.
"We’ve worked with a couple families as of now but this is something we’d like to offer to as many families as we can," a Zappos spokesperson said in an email.
The company said that any family of the deceased in need of quick financial assistance can email the Zappos for Good program.
Meanwhile, the company's collected nearly $400,0000 through the crowdfunding site CrowdRise, and the paper reports that it's working with the site to determine how that money and Zappos' matching contribution will be distributed.
