Alexa, my mother, passed away on 6 September after a stroke. She was 50 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 $5,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 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 Alexa 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 $5,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,650 • Memorial gathering for the family: $490 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,110 I hope life is good to you.

  1. Small update. $3,345 so far, the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Syracuse: the plan for funeral home services and casket is now scheduled. We're at 46% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
