🇺🇸 United States4,342 views
Aaron, my brother, passed away on 12 June after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 53 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 $3,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 June.
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 Aaron 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 $3,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,550
• Memorial gathering for the family: $280
• Transport of the deceased: $570
I hope life is good to you.
