Farewell fund for Carol: help Elias's family in Bakersfield
After the sudden passing of Carol, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States5,071 views
Carol, my wife, passed away on 13 October after a sudden heart attack. She was 30 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $2,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 Carol 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 $2,600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,550
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $670
• Memorial gathering for the family: $380
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Bristol.
