Anywhere in the world1,414 views
Gerald, my husband, passed away on 23 March after a road accident. He was 88 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 March.
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 Gerald to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $370
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $120
• Transport of the deceased: $110
Thank you for reading my story.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Herman?
Thank you. If you're in San Fernando I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Love from Newport
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Mapo.
Keep going, Herman. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out
