Farewell fund for Lucy: help Weston's family in Sherbrooke
Weston lost his grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $2,300.
🇨🇦 Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada3,939 views
Lucy, my grandmother, passed away on 4 August after a stroke. She was 89 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 $2,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 August.
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 Lucy 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 $2,300 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $330
• Transport of the deceased: $580
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,390
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck, Weston. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Saket this morning. Blessings.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from San Diego
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Sherbrooke.
Wishing you peace, Weston. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
