Alexandra, my grandmother, passed away on 2 May after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 91 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 $1,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 May. 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 Alexandra 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 local food bank. Where the $1,700 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $370 • Transport of the deceased: $410 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $920 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 45% funded and the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled.

  2. Update from London: we've started the first stage. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Quick update: $357 raised so far (21%). I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
