Robert, my uncle, passed away on 2 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 31 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 $2,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 July. 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 Robert 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 $2,900 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $480 • Memorial gathering for the family: $450 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,970 Thanks for being kind about this.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($109 in total) the plan for funeral home services and casket is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    You're not alone, Kylie. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Üsküdar.
