Farewell fund for Marcus: help Lawrence's family in Augusta
Lawrence lost his father suddenly and the family cannot cover funeral and burial costs of $4,950.

Marcus, my father, passed away on 19 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 62 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 $4,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 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 Marcus 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 $4,950 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,450
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $750
• Transport of the deceased: $440
• Memorial gathering for the family: $310
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
- Lawrence

Thanks for sharing this, Lawrence. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Blessings
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Reading.
Keep going, Lawrence. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 35 people at work. God bless.
