Christian, my grandfather, passed away on 24 April after complications from pneumonia. He was 59 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 $5,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 May. 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 Christian 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 $5,900 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $4,150 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $890 • Transport of the deceased: $460 • Memorial gathering for the family: $400 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

      Sending strength, Kinsley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care!

          Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
