Michel, my uncle, passed away on 19 September after a short illness. He was 37 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 $5,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 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 Michel 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 $5,350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,250 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,500 • Transport of the deceased: $450 • Memorial gathering for the family: $150 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best

      Sending good thoughts, Inès. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

        is there anything that isn't money that would help Inès?
