Arlington
Brandon, my brother, passed away on 5 June after a stroke. He was 90 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 $5,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 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 Brandon 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 $5,100 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,650 • Transport of the deceased: $340 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,110 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Praying for you, Jose. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Veracruz.
