Eugene, my grandfather, passed away on 27 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 29 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 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 Eugene 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 the Surrey hospice. Where the $4,600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,350 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $690 • Transport of the deceased: $260 • Memorial gathering for the family: $300 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Sending strength, Samantha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Surrey

    • Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Lexington.

      • Sending love, Samantha. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
