Noel, my husband, passed away on 17 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 71 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 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 Noel 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 Bacoor hospice. Where the $700 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $115 • Memorial gathering for the family: $70 • Funeral home services and casket: $515 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
