Saying goodbye to Theodore - help with funeral expenses
Theodore passed away on 5 November; we're raising $5,450 for a respectful funeral in San Diego.

Theodore, my grandfather, passed away on 5 November after complications from pneumonia. He was 93 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 $5,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 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 Theodore 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 the San Diego hospice.
Where the $5,450 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,950
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,000
• Transport of the deceased: $260
• Memorial gathering for the family: $240
Thanks for reading all this.

I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Best of luck, Christopher. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt
