Natalia, my sister, passed away on 19 March after a road accident. She was 41 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 $1,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 April. 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 Natalia 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 $1,200 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $790 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280 • Transport of the deceased: $55 • Memorial gathering for the family: $75 If you're reading this, thank you. - Pilar

    So sorry you're going through this, Pilar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
