Mark, my grandfather, passed away on 26 September after a stroke. He was 53 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 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 Mark 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 the San Fernando hospice.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $550
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $270
• Transport of the deceased: $90
• Memorial gathering for the family: $90
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Hang in there, Jocelyn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Jocelyn. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
