Lydia, my sister, passed away on 23 September after a long fight with kidney disease. 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 $3,400 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 Lydia 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 $3,400 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $450
• Transport of the deceased: $560
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,390
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
