Marc, my father, passed away on 13 January after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 29 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 $5,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 January. 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 Marc 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 $5,200 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $560 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,800 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $840 Thanks for reading all this. - Florian
