Boonmee, my husband, passed away on 12 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 91 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 $1,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 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 Boonmee 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 $1,600 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $850 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $490 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $120 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $140 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Fon
