Isaac, my grandfather, passed away on 22 March after a sudden heart attack. He was 40 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 $4,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 March.
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 Isaac 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 $4,700 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,000
• Transport of the deceased: $490
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,210
Thank you so much.

Sending strength, Dustin. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
wishing you the best, Dustin. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Los Angeles
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from London
hope things get better soon, Dustin. This could happen to any of us. Love from Cape Coast.
