Romain, my uncle, passed away on 8 November after a short illness. 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 November.
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 Romain 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 local food bank.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $480
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,750
• Memorial gathering for the family: $270
Every share and every dollar helps.

Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Frankfurt
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mathieu?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport of the deceased, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Flint so I could bring a meal.
how is Mathieu doing now?
hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
Hang in there, Mathieu. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Love from Guadalupe.
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Yekaterinburg this morning. Take care.
