Marcus, my brother, passed away on 30 May after a sudden heart attack. He was 52 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 $3,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 June.
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 Marcus 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $3,800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,150
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $950
• Transport of the deceased: $280
• Memorial gathering for the family: $420
