Help Wyatt lay Gabriel to rest with dignity in Dallas
Wyatt lost his uncle suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,900.
Anywhere in the world5,533 views
Gabriel, my uncle, passed away on 18 June after complications from pneumonia. He was 75 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 $3,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 June.
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 Gabriel 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 Dallas hospice.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,600
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $650
• Transport of the deceased: $230
• Memorial gathering for the family: $420
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Wyatt
Update from Dallas: I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. We're at 47% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Savannah this morning. Greetings from Savannah.
Sending good thoughts, Wyatt. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Rooting for you, Wyatt. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Asaba so I could bring a meal. God bless
