Anywhere in the world1,243 views
Palesa, my mother, passed away on 23 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 81 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 $1,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 September.
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 Palesa 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 $1,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $790
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $310
• Transport of the deceased: $65
• Memorial gathering for the family: $85
Thanks for being kind about this.
