Landon, my husband, passed away on 7 April after a sudden heart attack. He was 63 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 $2,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 April. 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 Landon 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 $2,300 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,950 • Memorial gathering for the family: $150 • Transport of the deceased: $200 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 30 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
