Jackson, my brother, passed away on 15 May after a road accident. He was 87 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 $3,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 Jackson 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 $3,700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400 • Transport of the deceased: $480 • Memorial gathering for the family: $420 With deep gratitude, Parker
