Robert, my father, passed away on 21 September after a road accident. He was 84 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 $5,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Robert 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 $5,200 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,500
• Transport of the deceased: $280
• Memorial gathering for the family: $320
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love, Nathan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of St. Petersburg.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Saket.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
Wishing you the best, Nathan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of St. Petersburg
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
