Kennedy, my sister, passed away on 28 June after a road accident. She was 34 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 $3,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 July.
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 Kennedy 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 $3,800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,050
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $720
• Transport of the deceased: $550
• Memorial gathering for the family: $480
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
