Waylon passed away on 11 August; we're raising $3,250 for a respectful funeral in Colorado Springs.

Waylon, my husband, passed away on 11 August after a road accident. He was 88 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 $3,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 August.
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 Waylon 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 $3,250 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $145
• Memorial gathering for the family: $370
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,735
Thank you so much.

Praying for you. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Colorado Springs.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 30 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Owen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Owen. This could happen to any of us. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Colorado Springs.
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Amsterdam
sending love, Owen. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Kolkata.
