Micah, my brother, passed away on 20 June after a short illness. He was 59 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 $5,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 July. 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 Micah 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 $5,950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,300 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,950 • Transport of the deceased: $320 • Memorial gathering for the family: $380 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Hailey

              I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
