El Paso
Jayden, my father, passed away on 5 September after a stroke. He was 92 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 $4,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 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 Jayden 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 local food bank. Where the $4,600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,450 • Transport of the deceased: $320 • Memorial gathering for the family: $430 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
