Markus, my father, passed away on 13 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 75 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 $4,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 August. 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 Markus 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 $4,800 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,000 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250 • Transport of the deceased: $270 • Memorial gathering for the family: $280 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Helene

    Keep going, Helene. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you. All the best
