Ian, my father, passed away on 22 February after a road accident. He was 35 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 $3,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Ian 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 $3,750 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250 • Transport of the deceased: $175 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,325 Thanks for being kind about this. - Eugene

    Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope April is when things finally get easier.

      Hope things get better soon, Eugene. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Sacramento!

      • wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Love from Anaheim.

        • Rooting for you, Eugene. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
