John, my uncle, passed away on 10 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 82 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 $4,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 John 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $4,200 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,400 • Transport of the deceased: $520 • Memorial gathering for the family: $280 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
