Funeral costs for Caleb's grandfather, Gerald

Gerald, my grandfather, passed away on 18 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 84 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 $5,350 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 Gerald 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 $5,350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,400 • Memorial gathering for the family: $350 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,600 With deep gratitude, Caleb
