Farewell fund for Danielle: help Joyce's family in Kelowna
Joyce lost her mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,250.
🇨🇦 Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada3,197 views
Danielle, my mother, passed away on 17 May after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 60 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 $3,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 June.
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 Danielle 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 $3,250 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $310
• Transport of the deceased: $610
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,330
With deep gratitude,
Joyce

hang in there, Joyce. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Kelowna.
thinking of you and your family, Joyce. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kelowna!
Thank you. If you're in Kelowna I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
wishing you the best, Joyce. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
Stay strong, Joyce. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Lagos donated after I showed her your page.
Praying for you, Joyce. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 7 people at work. Blessings.
