Samuel, my brother, passed away on 26 November after a short illness. He was 50 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 $4,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 November. 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 Samuel 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 $4,100 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $165 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,535 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

              Good luck, Kendall. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
