Saying goodbye to David - help with funeral expenses
Fatuma lost her brother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $650.

David, my brother, passed away on 26 June after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 80 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 July.
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 David 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 $650 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
• Transport of the deceased: $70
• Funeral home services and casket: $510
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings!
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Toronto.

Rooting for you, Fatuma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
