Marcel, my uncle, passed away on 23 July after a road accident. He was 30 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 $3,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 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 Marcel 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 a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,100
• Transport of the deceased: $220
• Memorial gathering for the family: $230
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Dominik
Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($468). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($208 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Augsburg!
Stay strong, Dominik. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Hang in there, Dominik. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Augsburg
