Peter, my father, passed away on 7 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 90 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 $300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 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 Peter 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 $300 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $180
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Memorial gathering for the family: $65
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
Updates from Ruth
We're at 77% thanks to 8 of you. I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($120 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
