Keith, my father, passed away on 29 October after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 65 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 $4,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 November.
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 Keith 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 Laredo hospice.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,000
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,500
• Transport of the deceased: $400
• Memorial gathering for the family: $350
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, Liam. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
take care, Liam. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Timișoara
Rooting for you, Liam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Springfield but we're thinking of you.
