Charles, my brother, passed away on 2 April after a road accident. He was 22 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 $1,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 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 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 the Jacksonville hospice. Where the $1,800 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $160 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400 • Memorial gathering for the family: $240 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Josephine
