Colton, my husband, passed away on 19 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 49 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 $3,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 August. 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 Colton 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 $3,450 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,550 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,200 • Transport of the deceased: $520 • Memorial gathering for the family: $180 I hope life is good to you.

  • Hang in there, Ruby. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Fresno.

    • Best of luck, Ruby. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
