Rowan, my uncle, passed away on 2 March after a stroke. He was 30 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 16 March. 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 Rowan 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 $4,500 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $390 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,600 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $510 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Hudson

  1. We're at 13% thanks to 15 of you. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. More news soon.

  2. Quick update: $555 raised so far (12%). I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($370 in total) the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
