Oisin, my husband, passed away on 19 May after a short illness. He was 90 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 $3,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 May. 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 Oisin 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 $3,750 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,000 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300 • Transport of the deceased: $160 • Memorial gathering for the family: $290 Thank you so much.

  • wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Nairobi.

    • can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dublin!

      • Take care, Niamh. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal.

        • Hope you get there. Sent it to 21 people at work.
