Farewell fund for Caleb: help Heather's family in Bakersfield
Heather lost her uncle suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,700.
🇺🇸 United States1,996 views
Caleb, my uncle, passed away on 26 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 48 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 $4,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 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 Caleb 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 $4,700 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $480
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,600
• Transport of the deceased: $620
Every share and every dollar helps.

hang in there. Hope you get there. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Durban.
So sorry you're going through this, Heather. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Stay strong, Heather. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Rooting for you, Heather. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
