Farewell fund for Émilie: help Valérie's family in Boulogne-Billancourt
Valérie lost her mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,750.
🇫🇷 Boulogne-Billancourt, Île-de-France, France1,414 views
Émilie, my mother, passed away on 23 May after a short illness. She was 91 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 $3,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 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 Émilie 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 $3,750 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $540
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,850
• Transport of the deceased: $360
If you're reading this, thank you.

how is Valérie doing now?
Wishing you peace, Valérie. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Khon Kaen.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 6 people at work. Love from Pokhara.
Hope you get there. Don't give up. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Palermo this morning.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending strength, Valérie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Juiz de Fora
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.
