Rhea, my mother, passed away on 27 February after a road accident. She was 80 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 March. 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 Rhea 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 $1,100 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $740 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $260 • Transport of the deceased: $35 • Memorial gathering for the family: $65 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Nenita
