Craig, my father, passed away on 13 June after complications from pneumonia. 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 $4,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 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 Craig 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $4,850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,700 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,500 • Transport of the deceased: $280 • Memorial gathering for the family: $370 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Buffalo
