Alexander, my grandfather, passed away on 31 May after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 23 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 $4,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 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 Alexander 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $4,250 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $180 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,850 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,220 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
