Sinead, my wife, passed away on 17 September after complications from pneumonia. She was 27 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $4,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 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 Sinead 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 $4,750 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,550 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300 • Transport of the deceased: $410 • Memorial gathering for the family: $490 Thank you for reading my story.

    Hope it all works out, Brian. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care

      So sorry you're going through this, Brian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
