Gregory, my grandfather, passed away on 23 June after a road accident. He was 76 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 $4,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 June. 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 Gregory 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 New York hospice. Where the $4,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,200 • Transport of the deceased: $270 • Memorial gathering for the family: $180 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Eleanor
