Luke, my uncle, passed away on 18 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 92 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 $3,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 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 Luke 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 $3,050 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $620 • Memorial gathering for the family: $350 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,080 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Isla

  1. Update from Miami: I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($291). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.
