Keith, my father, passed away on 25 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 90 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 4 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 Keith 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: $2,500 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,200 • Transport of the deceased: $450 • Memorial gathering for the family: $300 Thank you so much. - Evelyn

  • Praying for you, Evelyn. Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Reading.

    • Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. After 8 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      • sending love, Evelyn. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Coventry

        • Take care, Evelyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.

          • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Reading.

            • Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Seongnam
