Nao, my grandmother, passed away on 7 July after complications from pneumonia. She was 52 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 $4,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 July. 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 Nao 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 $4,450 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,200 • Transport of the deceased: $200 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

            take care, Emi. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
