Help Miles lay Doris to rest with dignity in Bakersfield
Miles lost his grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,550.
🇺🇸 California, United States5,358 views
Doris, my grandmother, passed away on 30 August after a sudden heart attack. She was 24 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $3,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 September.
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 Doris 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 $3,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,750
• Transport of the deceased: $180
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,620
Thanks for reading all this.

74% there. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,645 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Seoul.
wishing you peace, Miles. It takes guts to ask. Well done
You're not alone, Miles. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
