Leni, my wife, passed away on 24 September after a short illness. She was 50 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 $4,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 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 Leni 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 $4,150 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,000
• Transport of the deceased: $500
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,650
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
