Jayden, my husband, passed away on 14 June after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 78 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 $2,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 June.
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 Jayden 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 $2,700 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $610
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,800
• Memorial gathering for the family: $290
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Sophia
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,301 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
