Nicholas, my husband, passed away on 20 September 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 $5,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 October. 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 Nicholas 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 $5,550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,150 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,900 • Transport of the deceased: $500 If you're reading this, thank you.

        thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
