Half-Way Tree
Basil, my grandfather, passed away on 28 November after a short illness. He was 89 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 December. 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 Basil 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 $600 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $460 • Memorial gathering for the family: $65 • Transport of the deceased: $75 Every share and every dollar helps. - Hyacinth
