Carter, my grandfather, passed away on 26 December after a stroke. He was 50 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 January.
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 Carter 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 $1,050 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $550
• Memorial gathering for the family: $155
• Transport of the deceased: $345
With deep gratitude,
Wendy

Good news. Because of your gifts ($275 in total) the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($160 in total) I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Wendy?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about cemetery plot and burial fees, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of London.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Gazipur
