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. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Elias R. Valdez

          Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!

          • Vignesh M. Panicker

            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.
