Elena, my wife, passed away on 29 May after a stroke. She was 25 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 $1,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Elena 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 $1,300 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $150 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $790 • Transport of the deceased: $360 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Brenda

  1. Quick update: $483 raised so far (37%). I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $418 so far, I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($303 in total) I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

          Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
