Manuela, my grandmother, passed away on 6 June after a road accident. She was 78 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 $1,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 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 Manuela to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank. Where the $1,650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,000 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $460 • Transport of the deceased: $110 • Memorial gathering for the family: $80 Glad we found this place.
