Wesley, my grandfather, passed away on 30 October after complications from pneumonia. He was 92 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 $4,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 November. 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 Wesley 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 $4,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,100 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,550 • Transport of the deceased: $210 • Memorial gathering for the family: $390 If you're reading this, thank you. - Nathan

Updates from Nathan

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($456 in total) I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Sacramento: we've started the first stage. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
