Help Wesley lay Crystal to rest with dignity in San Diego
Wesley lost his wife suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $6,000.

Crystal, my wife, passed away on 17 September after a stroke. She was 64 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 $6,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 September.
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 Crystal 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 a local food bank.
Where the $6,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,650
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,550
• Transport of the deceased: $530
• Memorial gathering for the family: $270
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. All the best!
Keep going, Wesley. Hope you get there. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of San Diego.
