Farewell fund for Wyatt: help Heather's family in Fresno
Heather lost her uncle suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,950.

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

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

Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings
sending strength, Heather. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Stay strong, Heather. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless!
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
