Tashana, my mother, passed away on 27 March after a sudden heart attack. She was 26 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 $1,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 April. 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 Tashana 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 $1,800 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,150 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $460 • Transport of the deceased: $50 • Memorial gathering for the family: $140 Every share and every dollar helps. - Kimberly

  • Thinking of you, Kimberly. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Madrid this morning

      can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kingston
