Laura, my mother, passed away on 25 May after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 42 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 $4,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Laura 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 $4,450 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,550 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250 • Transport of the deceased: $320 • Memorial gathering for the family: $330 Thanks for reading all this.

    So sorry you're going through this, Gabriel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
