Terry, my brother, passed away on 24 May after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 55 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 $4,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 June.
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 Terry 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 $4,900 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,850
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,350
• Transport of the deceased: $210
• Memorial gathering for the family: $490
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
