Help Helene lay Ben to rest with dignity in Duisburg
After the sudden passing of Ben, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Ben, my grandfather, passed away on 9 March after a road accident. He was 80 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 $4,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 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 Ben 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 $4,750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,800
• Transport of the deceased: $190
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,760
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Sydney
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Thinking of you and your family, Helene. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 11 people at work
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Bekasi.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
