Ruth, my sister, passed away on 24 April after a sudden heart attack. She was 37 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 $5,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 May.
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 Ruth 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 a local food bank.
Where the $5,300 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,400
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $930
• Transport of the deceased: $540
• Memorial gathering for the family: $430
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Peshawar.
Thinking of you and your family, Ximena. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
You're not alone, Ximena. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.
