Koji, my husband, passed away on 7 December after complications from pneumonia. He was 51 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 $2,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 December. 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 Koji 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 $2,850 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $1,550 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $230 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,070 I hope life is good to you.
