Farewell fund for Charles: help Craig's family in Edinburgh
Charles passed away on 4 September; we're raising $3,750 for a respectful funeral in Edinburgh.

Charles, my uncle, passed away on 4 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 30 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 $3,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 September.
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 Charles 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 $3,750 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $610
• Memorial gathering for the family: $430
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,710
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Craig. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
