Help Rowena lay Jose to rest with dignity in Bacolod
Rowena lost her uncle suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $950.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,560 views
Jose, my uncle, passed away on 26 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 58 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 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 Jose 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 $950 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $480
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $340
• Transport of the deceased: $50
• Memorial gathering for the family: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Liverpool but we're thinking of you. God bless
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Tokyo so I could bring a meal
praying for you, Rowena. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Mombasa so I could bring a meal.
Hope it all works out, Rowena. Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Zagazig.
Sending good thoughts, Rowena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Grenoble
