Claudia, my mother, passed away on 6 January after a short illness. She was 34 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 $2,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 January.
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 Claudia 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 $2,300 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,150
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $540
• Transport of the deceased: $350
• Memorial gathering for the family: $260
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Mónica. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Reading
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you
Good luck, Mónica. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 28 people at work. Love from Düsseldorf.
Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Radom.
