Guo, my grandfather, passed away on 6 February after a short illness. He was 41 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 $4,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 February. 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 Guo 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 $4,450 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,000 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $870 • Transport of the deceased: $380 • Memorial gathering for the family: $200 I hope life is good to you. - Ling
