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