🇺🇸 Tennessee, United States3,690 views
Angel, my grandfather, passed away on 9 August after a long fight with kidney disease. 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 $4,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 August.
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 Angel 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 $4,600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,050
• Memorial gathering for the family: $420
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $2,130

Good news. Because of your gifts ($634 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Wishing you the best, John. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Abbottabad.
