Eleanor, my wife, passed away on 24 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 65 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 $3,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Eleanor 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 the El Paso hospice. Where the $3,600 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $370 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $790 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,440 Thanks for being kind about this. - Kinsley

    Sending good thoughts, Kinsley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

      Keep going. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update.

        Hope things get better soon, Kinsley. 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.
