David, my brother, passed away on 12 April after a sudden heart attack. He was 30 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 $4,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 April. 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 David 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 local food bank. Where the $4,200 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $175 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,900 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,125 Thank you for reading my story.
