Jameson, my grandfather, passed away on 15 November after a road accident. He was 74 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 $4,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 December. 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 Jameson 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 $4,550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,300 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,500 • Transport of the deceased: $530 • Memorial gathering for the family: $220 Thanks for reading all this. - Howard

    Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 6 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
