Haifa
Ayelet, my wife, passed away on 28 September after a short illness. She was 64 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 $5,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Ayelet 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 $5,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,950 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250 • Transport of the deceased: $340 • Memorial gathering for the family: $460 Thank you so much.
