Elena, my grandmother, passed away on 3 August after complications from pneumonia. She was 85 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 13 August. 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 $5,000 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $290 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,310 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Gemma
