Greyson, my grandfather, passed away on 19 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 71 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Greyson 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 local food bank. Where the $4,500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,800 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050 • Transport of the deceased: $180 • Memorial gathering for the family: $470 Every share and every dollar helps. - Eli

          Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • William C. Barnett

            Keep going, Eli. Hope you get there. After 6 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Surakarta.
