Mercy, my grandmother, passed away on 21 May after a short illness. She was 68 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 May.
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 Mercy 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $700 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
• Funeral home services and casket: $500
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.
