Wyatt, my uncle, passed away on 21 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 43 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 $4,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 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 Wyatt 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 $4,950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,350 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $2,050 • Transport of the deceased: $190 • Memorial gathering for the family: $360 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Heather

Updates from Heather

  1. Small update. $2,215 so far, I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,700 in total) the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
