Bennett, my husband, passed away on 17 September after a stroke. He was 42 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 $6,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Bennett to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $6,800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,950
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,900
• Transport of the deceased: $510
• Memorial gathering for the family: $440
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, David. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Epe.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Palmira.
Sending good thoughts, David. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to New Delhi so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
