Anna, my mother, passed away on 23 March after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 73 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 $4,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 April. 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 Anna 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 local food bank. Where the $4,850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,300 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $990 • Transport of the deceased: $150 • Memorial gathering for the family: $410 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Anne

  • How is Anne doing now?

    • sending love, Anne. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 22 people at work.

      • Wishing you peace, Anne. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Eindhoven.

        • Hang in there, Anne. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Eindhoven

          • Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
