Taiga, my brother, passed away on 28 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 58 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 $2,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 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 Taiga 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 $2,850 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $1,600 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $540 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $310 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $400 Thank you for reading my story.
