Kylie, my mother, passed away on 6 September after complications from pneumonia. She was 77 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 $3,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 September. 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 Kylie 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 $3,450 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $280 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,000 • Transport of the deceased: $170 I hope life is good to you. - Beau

    Hang in there, Beau. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mumbai.
