Russell lost his uncle suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,150.

Cameron, my uncle, passed away on 22 February after a sudden heart attack. He was 53 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 $4,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 March.
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 Cameron 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 $4,150 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,450
• Transport of the deceased: $140
• Memorial gathering for the family: $460
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you, Russell. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
Thinking of you, Russell. Looking forward to the next update.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Leeds.
Sending good thoughts, Russell. Shared this with my family. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
