Walter, my husband, passed away on 17 September after complications from pneumonia. 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 $5,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 October.
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 Walter 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 $5,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,400
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,950
• Transport of the deceased: $270
• Memorial gathering for the family: $480
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon, Teresa. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Flint
