Conor, my husband, passed away on 24 February after complications from pneumonia. He was 48 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 $2,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 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 Conor 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 $2,650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,150 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,000 • Memorial gathering for the family: $500 Thanks for being kind about this.

      wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.

      • Thinking of you, Declan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
