Autumn, my mother, passed away on 6 March after a road accident. She was 42 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 $4,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 March.
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 Autumn 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,900
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $740
• Transport of the deceased: $195
• Memorial gathering for the family: $315
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this, Alexander. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Alexander. Shared it with a few friends. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Take care.
You're not alone, Alexander. Hope you get there.
So sorry you're going through this, Alexander. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Bornova.
your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from São Paulo.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Sherbrooke.
