Vusi, my brother, passed away on 13 July after a short illness. He was 89 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 $1,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 July. 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 Vusi 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 $1,300 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $820 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250 • Transport of the deceased: $140 • Memorial gathering for the family: $90 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
