Kimberly, my mother, passed away on 27 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 33 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 $3,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 October.
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 Kimberly 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 $3,850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,150
• Memorial gathering for the family: $260
• Transport of the deceased: $440
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cooper.
Funeral home services and casket is $3,150 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
You're not alone, Cooper. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Madurai donated after I showed her your page.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Cooper?
Thank you. If you're in Cambridge I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
