Eugene lost his father suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,750.

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.

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
thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Love from La Plata.
