Kimberly, my grandmother, passed away on 26 January after a road accident. 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 $5,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 February.
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.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $5,000 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,050
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,550
• Transport of the deceased: $400
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
