Kevin, my husband, passed away on 20 March after a short illness. He was 27 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 April.
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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $340
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $410
• Transport of the deceased: $140
• Memorial gathering for the family: $110
Thank you for reading my story.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Durban
Thank you. If you're in Durban I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Durban.
Sending strength, Pravin. This could happen to any of us. Love from Wiesbaden.
