Half-Way Tree
Basil, my uncle, passed away on 8 September after a stroke. He was 51 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 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 Basil 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 $1,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $700 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $180 • Memorial gathering for the family: $120 With deep gratitude, Ivy
