Farewell fund for James: help Kevin's family in Springfield
Kevin lost his grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,450.
🇺🇸 Springfield, Missouri, United States829 views
James, my grandfather, passed away on 30 December after a road accident. He was 29 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 $1,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 January.
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 James 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 $1,450 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $370
• Transport of the deceased: $210
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $870
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Kevin
Good news. Because of your gifts ($108 in total) the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Springfield: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
