Kevin, my grandfather, passed away on 31 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 35 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 17 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 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 the Cardiff hospice. Where the $3,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,200 • Transport of the deceased: $370 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $680 If you're reading this, thank you.
