Christian, my uncle, passed away on 11 August after a short illness. 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 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 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $670
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $270
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Memorial gathering for the family: $85
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Maria
Quick update: $797 raised so far (72%). I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 37% now ($410). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Quezon City!
Thank you. If you're in Quezon City I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
thanks for sharing this, Maria. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Marseille so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Tampa.
wishing you peace, Maria. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Wishing you peace, Maria. Your post was clear and honest.
