Cheng, my father, passed away on 18 May after a sudden heart attack. He was 63 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 $1,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 May. 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 Cheng 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 $1,750 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $490 • Memorial gathering for the family: $270 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $990 Thanks for being kind about this. - Lin
