Felix, my brother, passed away on 10 December after a road accident. He was 34 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 $4,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 December. 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 Felix 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $4,650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,250 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $840 • Transport of the deceased: $195 • Memorial gathering for the family: $365 I hope life is good to you.

      Rooting for you, Mia. This could happen to any of us. After 7 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Cebu City.
