Samuel, my husband, passed away on 13 December after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 44 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 January. 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. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a neighborhood youth program. Where the $550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $260 • Transport of the deceased: $30 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $260 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Vivian
