Funeral costs for Ethan's husband, Thomas
Thomas passed away on 22 September; we're raising $1,250 for a respectful funeral in Lyon.

Thomas, my husband, passed away on 22 September after a short illness. He was 83 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 $1,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Thomas 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 $1,250 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $220
• Memorial gathering for the family: $170
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $860
Thanks for being kind about this.

you're not alone. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lyon
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Riyadh
