Funeral costs for Irene's uncle, David

After the sudden passing of David, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

David, my uncle, passed away on 25 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 36 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 $250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 October. 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 David 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 $250 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $40 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $175 • Memorial gathering for the family: $35 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Irene
