Saying goodbye to Thomas - help with funeral expenses
Hannah lost her father suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,400.

Thomas, my father, passed away on 18 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 79 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 $3,400 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 Thomas 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 $3,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,100
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $650
• Transport of the deceased: $310
• Memorial gathering for the family: $340
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
