Sophia, my grandmother, passed away on 20 September after complications from pneumonia. She was 32 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 6 October. 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. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a neighborhood youth program. Where the $1,700 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $240 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250 • Memorial gathering for the family: $210 Thanks for being kind about this.
