Peyton, my wife, passed away on 6 August after a sudden heart attack. She was 50 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $4,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 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 Peyton 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 $4,300 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,600 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $950 • Transport of the deceased: $550 • Memorial gathering for the family: $200 Thank you so much.

Updates from John

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($333 in total) I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. 6% there. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Thank you.

  3. Quick update: $115 raised so far (3%). I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Hamilton this morning.

                    thinking of you, John. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Guadalajara but we're thinking of you.
