Parker, my uncle, passed away on 17 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 61 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 August. 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 Parker 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 Coventry hospice. Where the $4,500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,450 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,200 • Transport of the deceased: $440 • Memorial gathering for the family: $410 With deep gratitude, Olivia

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
