Farewell fund for Brooks: help Natalia's family in Ballarat
Natalia lost her grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,550.

Brooks, my grandfather, passed away on 30 March after a road accident. He was 78 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 $1,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 April.
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 Brooks 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 $1,550 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $330
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050
• Transport of the deceased: $170
Thank you so much.
