Craig, my brother, passed away on 24 September after a short illness. 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 October.
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.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $550 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $125
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $360
• Memorial gathering for the family: $65
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon, Riaan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. God bless
Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Paris.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
