Funeral costs for Howard's brother, Owen
Owen passed away on 12 September; we're raising $3,850 for a respectful funeral in Dallas.

Owen, my brother, passed away on 12 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 50 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 $3,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 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 Owen 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 $3,850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,600
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $580
• Transport of the deceased: $380
• Memorial gathering for the family: $290
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck, Howard. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Dallas
hope you get there. Love from Buenos Aires.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Jacksonville.
Wishing you peace, Howard. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Córdoba.

This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Love from Nagpur
praying for you, Howard. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
