Ian, my grandfather, passed away on 20 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 93 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 $3,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Ian 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 $3,500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,200
• Transport of the deceased: $650
• Memorial gathering for the family: $350
Thank you for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing this, Deborah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Tampa.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Greetings from Mumbai.
Keep going, Deborah. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Richards Bay so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
