Marcus, my husband, passed away on 13 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 52 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 $3,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 October.
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 Marcus 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 $3,800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100
• Transport of the deceased: $140
• Memorial gathering for the family: $360
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
What's already covered and what's the $3,800 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. funeral home services and casket is the biggest at $2,200. Appreciate you taking the time.
wishing you peace, Janet. Hope this works out for you.
Sending love, Janet. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Phoenix so I could bring a meal. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. After 15 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Quetta.
