Ruby, my mother, passed away on 30 June after a short illness. She was 37 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 $5,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 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 Ruby 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 $5,200 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $580
• Funeral home services and casket: $4,200
• Memorial gathering for the family: $420
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Harold. Shared this with my family.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Harold.
It's all in the list in the story. transport of the deceased is the big one at $580, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Thinking of you and your family, Harold. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Best of luck, Harold. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Sending good thoughts, Harold. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Udaipur.
