Nora, my grandmother, passed away on 5 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 34 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 $3,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 September. 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 Nora 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 the Boston hospice. Where the $3,550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,900 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $890 • Transport of the deceased: $460 • Memorial gathering for the family: $300 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Carol
