Padraig, my brother, passed away on 17 July after a sudden heart attack. He was 70 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 $3,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 July. 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 Padraig 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 $3,850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,450 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $990 • Transport of the deceased: $190 • Memorial gathering for the family: $220 Thank you so much.

Updates from Cathal

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,170 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
