Walker, my husband, passed away on 5 September after a road accident. He was 42 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 $3,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 September. 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 Walker 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 $3,200 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,800 • Memorial gathering for the family: $210 • Transport of the deceased: $190 Thanks for reading all this. - Michael
