Dennis, my uncle, passed away on 25 July after a stroke. He was 45 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 $5,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 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 Dennis 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 $5,150 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,650
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,800
• Transport of the deceased: $500
• Memorial gathering for the family: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Take care. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of San Francisco.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of San Francisco.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Kharkiv but we're thinking of you.
Praying for you, Maria. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
