Farewell fund for Sarah: help Kaylee's family in Cleveland
After the sudden passing of Sarah, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇺🇸 Cleveland, Ohio, United States4,830 views
Sarah, my grandmother, passed away on 1 September after a road accident. She was 46 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 $6,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 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 Sarah 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 Cleveland hospice.
Where the $6,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,750
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,900
• Transport of the deceased: $560
• Memorial gathering for the family: $340
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Kaylee. Looking forward to the next update. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Cleveland.
Wishing you peace, Kaylee. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Cleveland.
stay strong, Kaylee. Your post was clear and honest
Praying for you, Kaylee. Hope this works out for you.
how is Kaylee doing now?

This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Cleveland.
what's already covered and what's the $6,550 for?
It's all in the list in the story. funeral home services and casket is the big one at $3,750, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Parma so I could bring a meal. Blessings!
stay strong. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Cleveland
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending good thoughts, Kaylee. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Kansas City.
