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

      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.

        • Iván T. Mendoza

          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
