Liam, my uncle, passed away on 14 April after a road accident. He was 82 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 $5,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 April.
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 Liam 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 $5,850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,750
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $2,200
• Transport of the deceased: $570
• Memorial gathering for the family: $330
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Worcester
Thank you. If you're in Worcester I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Thinking of you, Isla. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
good luck. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Bangkok this morning. Take care.
Best of luck, Isla. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
wishing you the best, Isla. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. After 20 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Isla. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Worcester.
best of luck, Isla. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Marseille.
Good luck, Isla. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Worcester.
Best of luck, Isla. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in New Delhi this morning
Rooting for you, Isla. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
