Fatima, my sister, passed away on 9 June after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 35 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 $1,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 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 Fatima 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 $1,500 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $820
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $440
• Transport of the deceased: $145
• Memorial gathering for the family: $95
With deep gratitude,
Rachel
