Niklas, my father, passed away on 14 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 22 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 $3,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Niklas 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 $3,500 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $310 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $790 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
