Marta, my sister, passed away on 4 July after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 62 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 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 Marta 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 $850 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $90
• Memorial gathering for the family: $85
• Funeral home services and casket: $675
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, Inés. Hope you get there. Love from Geelong.
is transport of the deceased the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. transport of the deceased is the big one at $90, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in St. Petersburg this morning
I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Zapopan.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport of the deceased, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Wollongong this morning. Thinking of Zapopan.
Hang in there, Inés. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Juazeiro do Norte
