Hugo, my father, passed away on 14 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 89 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 $1,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Hugo 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 $1,400 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $460
• Funeral home services and casket: $910
• Memorial gathering for the family: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope it all works out, Lourdes. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Narayanganj
