Help Ian lay Silas to rest with dignity in Yonkers

Silas, my grandfather, passed away on 17 June after a sudden heart attack. He was 92 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 $5,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 June. 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 Silas 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 $5,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $850 • Transport of the deceased: $550 • Memorial gathering for the family: $250 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Ian
