Kevin, my father, passed away on 20 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 59 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 $4,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 October. 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 Kevin 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 $4,400 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,050 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $730 • Transport of the deceased: $210 • Memorial gathering for the family: $410 I hope life is good to you.

    So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Manchester this morning. Blessings.

              Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
