Matthew, my grandfather, passed away on 15 February after a short illness. 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 $6,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 March. 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 Matthew 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 local food bank. Where the $6,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,900 • Transport of the deceased: $410 • Memorial gathering for the family: $290 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Craig
