Brooklyn, my wife, passed away on 7 August after a road accident. She was 49 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 $2,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 August.
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 Brooklyn 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 $2,100 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $270
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,550
• Transport of the deceased: $280

looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out!
is there anything that isn't money that would help Brielle?
Thank you. If you're in San Diego I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thanks for sharing this, Brielle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
