Mame, my mother, passed away on 30 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 85 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 $4,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 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 Mame 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 $4,700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $920 • Transport of the deceased: $180 • Memorial gathering for the family: $200 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Fatoumata
