Newport
Charles, my brother, passed away on 30 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 89 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 $3,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 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 Charles 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 $3,600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,050 • Memorial gathering for the family: $370 • Transport of the deceased: $180 Thanks for being kind about this.
