Hobart
Nolan, my father, passed away on 1 July after a short illness. He was 34 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 $5,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 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 Nolan 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 $5,350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,050 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,550 • Transport of the deceased: $470 • Memorial gathering for the family: $280 Thanks for being kind about this.

            good luck, Derek. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
