Margaret, my sister, passed away on 3 August after a stroke. She was 28 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 $500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 August. 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 Margaret 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 $500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $210 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $155 • Transport of the deceased: $60 • Memorial gathering for the family: $75 If you're reading this, thank you. - Esther

    Shared it with a few friends. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
