Farewell fund for Derek: help Amber's family in Aberdeen
Amber lost her father suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,050.
🇬🇧 Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom3,490 views
Derek, my father, passed away on 15 September 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 $4,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 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 Derek 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 $4,050 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400
• Transport of the deceased: $150
• Memorial gathering for the family: $200
Thanks for reading all this.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Tallahassee but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. After 23 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Sending good thoughts, Amber. Hope this works out for you. Love from Madrid.
