Brandon, my father, passed away on 29 December after a stroke. He was 82 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 $5,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 January.
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 Brandon 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 local food bank.
Where the $5,300 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $4,000
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $680
• Transport of the deceased: $360
• Memorial gathering for the family: $260
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,935 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Riyadh so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Sending strength, Skylar. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Mysuru.
Thanks for sharing this, Skylar. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted.
Keep going, Skylar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Skylar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope March is when things finally get easier. God bless.
