Sophia, my wife, passed away on 9 December after a sudden heart attack. She was 25 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 $3,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 December. 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 Sophia 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 $3,800 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,300 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,000 • Transport of the deceased: $145 • Memorial gathering for the family: $355 I hope life is good to you.
