Farewell fund for Elijah: help Micah's family in San Diego
Micah lost his uncle suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $5,100.
🇺🇸 California, United States5,380 views
Elijah, my uncle, passed away on 24 September after a road accident. He was 77 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 $5,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 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 Elijah 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $5,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050
• Transport of the deceased: $530
• Memorial gathering for the family: $320
Thank you for reading my story.
