Kennedy, my mother, passed away on 25 September after a road accident. She was 90 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $2,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 October. 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 Kennedy 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 $2,850 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $440 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,000 • Memorial gathering for the family: $410 Thanks for being kind about this. - Marcus

              You're not alone, Marcus. Shared this with my family. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
