Farewell fund for Donal: help Nora's family in Cork
After the sudden passing of Donal, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇮🇪 Cork, Munster, Ireland2,926 views
Donal, my husband, passed away on 16 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 59 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 $4,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 August.
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 Donal 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 $4,350 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,400
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,650
• Transport of the deceased: $135
• Memorial gathering for the family: $165
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong, Nora. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Comilla.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Amsterdam this morning. Blessings.
wishing you the best, Nora. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
Best of luck, Nora. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Cork.
