Andrea, my sister, passed away on 26 September after a road accident. She was 53 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 $4,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 October. 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 Andrea 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 $4,550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,200 • Transport of the deceased: $290 • Memorial gathering for the family: $410 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ben

      Thank you. If you're in Dresden I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

    Wishing you the best, Ben. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.

    • Thinking of you, Ben. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care

      • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Quezon City.
