Axel, my grandfather, passed away on 5 September after a stroke. He was 52 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 $3,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 September.
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 Axel 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 $3,750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,550
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $670
• Transport of the deceased: $230
• Memorial gathering for the family: $300
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
So sorry you're going through this, Madelyn. I hope things turn around soon.
Best of luck, Madelyn. I hope things turn around soon.
Hope it all works out, Madelyn. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Madelyn. Hope this works out for you. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
