Saying goodbye to Wendy - help with funeral expenses
Josiah lost his wife suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $5,500.

Wendy, my wife, passed away on 4 July after a sudden heart attack. She was 83 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $5,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 July.
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 Wendy 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 $5,500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,150
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,600
• Transport of the deceased: $430
• Memorial gathering for the family: $320
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Gaziantep but we're thinking of you.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Christchurch
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Josiah
Funeral home services and casket is $3,150 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there, Josiah. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. Love from Bogotá.
You're not alone, Josiah. Hope this works out for you. All the best
Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Greensboro.
Hang in there, Josiah. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
