George
Hendrik, my brother, passed away on 29 March after a stroke. He was 72 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 $1,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 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 Hendrik to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to the George hospice. Where the $1,200 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $800 • Transport of the deceased: $125 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $275 Glad we found this place. - Christo

    can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near George

      Thank you. If you're in George I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

    Hang in there, Christo. 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. Blessings.

          Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of George.
