Rebecca, my sister, passed away on 5 February after a sudden heart attack. She was 47 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 $5,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 February. 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 Rebecca 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 $5,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,500 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100 • Transport of the deceased: $290 • Memorial gathering for the family: $260 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Danielle

  1. Update from Chicago: the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 18% funded and the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled.
