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.

You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mannheim
Thank you. If you're in Mannheim I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
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.
Hope things get better soon, Mia. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Sacramento but we're thinking of you.
Good luck, Mia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
thinking of you, Mia. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
so sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
