Marcus, my father, passed away on 26 August after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 77 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 $3,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Marcus 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 $3,150 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $530
• Memorial gathering for the family: $320
Thank you so much.
- Jacob

Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Leeds
take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Puebla.
Hope it all works out, Jacob. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 23 people at work.
