Cooper, my husband, passed away on 29 May after a road accident. He was 83 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 $3,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 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 Cooper 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 the Aurora hospice.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,650
• Memorial gathering for the family: $360
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,440
Every share and every dollar helps.

This could happen to any of us. Love from Fortaleza.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Shared this with my family. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too
