Eleanor, my mother, passed away on 15 November after a stroke. She was 56 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 $3,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 November. 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 Eleanor to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a neighborhood youth program. Where the $3,850 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $230 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,950 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $670 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Jameson

  1. Update from Los Angeles: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 71% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,791 in total) the plan for funeral home services and casket is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($838 in total) I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Epe so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Los Angeles.

      • Nadia Yasmin Trabelsi

        Thinking of you, Jameson. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Ekurhuleni

          Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.

          • Elisa Viola Ferraro

            I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

              • Greyson F. Lee

                Looking forward to the next update. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Los Angeles.

                • Tess Brouwer

                  Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care

                      So sorry you're going through this, Jameson. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Campinas.
