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.

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
Good luck, Aaliyah. Looking forward to the next update
Good luck, Aaliyah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Best of luck, Aaliyah. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
rooting for you, Aaliyah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
