Ann Arbor
Jordan, my grandfather, passed away on 19 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 84 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 $1,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 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 Jordan 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 $1,300 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $250 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $720 • Memorial gathering for the family: $330 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 26% now ($336). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  3. 7% there. the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled. Thank you.
