Cherry, my grandmother, passed away on 10 June after a short illness. She was 70 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 July. 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 Cherry 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 $800 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $370 • Funeral home services and casket: $350 • Transport of the deceased: $80 Thank you for reading my story.

    wishing you peace, Angelo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Mumbai

      It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 28 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Québec.
