Josiah, my uncle, passed away on 13 September after a short illness. He was 33 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 $3,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 September.
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 Josiah 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 $3,950 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $420
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,430
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there, Eleanor. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Sydney.
Wishing you peace, Eleanor. I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in New South Wales. I'll ask around and let you know.
