Farewell fund for Amélie: help Marie's family in Nice
After the sudden passing of Amélie, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Amélie, my sister, passed away on 15 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 38 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 $4,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 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 Amélie 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 $4,700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,000
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300
• Transport of the deceased: $220
• Memorial gathering for the family: $180
Glad we found this place.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,164 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
