Ezra, my grandfather, passed away on 12 September after a sudden heart attack. 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 $5,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 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 Ezra 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 $5,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,450 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,150 • Transport of the deceased: $290 • Memorial gathering for the family: $260 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Everly

              Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Tokyo.
