Pierre, my uncle, passed away on 21 February after a road accident. He was 50 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 $5,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 March.
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 Pierre 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 $5,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,800
• Transport of the deceased: $340
• Memorial gathering for the family: $160
With deep gratitude,
Raphaël

wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of London
Sending strength, Raphaël. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Keep going, Raphaël. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of London.
Hope it all works out, Raphaël. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up
Thinking of you and your family, Raphaël. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
