Theodore, my brother, passed away on 20 September after a road accident. He was 31 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 $5,250 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 Theodore 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 $5,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,750 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,800 • Transport of the deceased: $420 • Memorial gathering for the family: $280 If you're reading this, thank you. - Teresa

      • can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Eugene.

        • Keep going, Teresa. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Victoria.

                • Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.

                  • Sending strength, Teresa. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
