Breda
Jesse, my husband, passed away on 1 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 52 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 $3,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Jesse 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 $3,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,500 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $940 • Transport of the deceased: $440 • Memorial gathering for the family: $370 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sven
