Elmarie, my grandmother, passed away on 27 May after complications from pneumonia. She was 90 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 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 Elmarie 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $500 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $85 • Memorial gathering for the family: $95 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $320 Thank you for reading my story.
