Sarah, my grandmother, passed away on 24 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 68 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 $3,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 October.
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.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,500
• Transport of the deceased: $440
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,310
If you're reading this, thank you.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Manukau
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. All the best
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Manukau.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. After 26 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Mangaluru
