Mackenzie, my grandmother, passed away on 6 May after a road accident. She was 79 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 May. 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 Mackenzie 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 Coventry hospice. Where the $1,850 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $300 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250 • Memorial gathering for the family: $300 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Wayne

    Keep going, Wayne. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.

    • Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.

      • praying for you, Wayne. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.

        • Hope it all works out, Wayne. This could happen to any of us.
