Farewell fund for Michelle: help Luna's family in Springfield
Luna lost her sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $6,100.

Michelle, my sister, passed away on 20 May after a road accident. She was 50 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 $6,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 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 Michelle 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 $6,100 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $165
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,600
• Funeral home services and casket: $4,335
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. After 11 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Springfield.
thinking of you and your family, Luna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
