Farewell fund for Angel: help Melanie's family in Pittsburgh
Melanie lost her uncle suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,600.
🇺🇸 Pennsylvania, United States4,424 views
Angel, my uncle, passed away on 18 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 81 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $4,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 October.
I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Angel to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $4,600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,650
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300
• Transport of the deceased: $330
• Memorial gathering for the family: $320
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

stay strong. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
Wishing you peace, Melanie. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Take care. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
praying for you, Melanie. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Bordeaux.
Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Keep going, Melanie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Karlsruhe so I could bring a meal.
Keep going, Melanie. Looking forward to the next update. All the best
