Saying goodbye to Bennett - help with funeral expenses
Bennett passed away on 18 September; we're raising $3,150 for a respectful funeral in Newcastle.

Bennett, my uncle, passed away on 18 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 74 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 $3,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Bennett 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 $3,150 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $420
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,350
• Transport of the deceased: $380
Glad we found this place.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mateo?

Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Geelong.
