Jomar, my grandfather, passed away on 27 April after a road accident. He was 88 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 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 Jomar 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 the Lapu-Lapu hospice. Where the $850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $590 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130 • Transport of the deceased: $35 • Memorial gathering for the family: $95 Glad we found this place. - Rafael
