Leo, my father, passed away on 7 February after a stroke. He was 86 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 $2,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 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 Leo to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $220
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,800
• Memorial gathering for the family: $230
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out, Carter. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope you get there. Thinking of Las Cruces.
Thanks for sharing this, Carter. This could happen to any of us. Love from Prayagraj.
Wishing you peace, Carter. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
