Aaron, my father, passed away on 7 August after a stroke. He was 56 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 $3,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 August. 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 Aaron 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 $3,950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,350 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,000 • Transport of the deceased: $300 • Memorial gathering for the family: $300 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Aaliyah

  • Stay strong, Aaliyah. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

    • This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Gatineau
