Shuai, my grandfather, passed away on 12 September after a road accident. He was 87 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 $5,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 September. 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 Shuai 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 $5,500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,250 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,700 • Transport of the deceased: $310 • Memorial gathering for the family: $240 With deep gratitude, Rui
