Maricel, my wife, passed away on 9 June after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 43 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 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 Maricel 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 $950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $720 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $175 • Transport of the deceased: $30 • Memorial gathering for the family: $25 Thank you for reading my story. - Mary Grace
