Brenda, my wife, passed away on 5 August after a road accident. She was 92 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $5,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 August.
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 Brenda 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 $5,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,800
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400
• Transport of the deceased: $520
• Memorial gathering for the family: $280
With deep gratitude,
Angela

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Charlotte.
Thank you. If you're in Charlotte I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hope it all works out, Angela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Hang in there, Angela. Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
