Emery, my wife, passed away on 21 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 22 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 $4,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Emery 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 $4,900 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,800
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,600
• Transport of the deceased: $320
• Memorial gathering for the family: $180
I hope life is good to you.

Small update. $55 so far, I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 0% funded and the plan for funeral home services and casket is now scheduled.

Sending good thoughts, Samuel. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Jacksonville.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Poitiers
