Fernanda, my mother, passed away on 26 November after complications from pneumonia. She was 93 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 December. 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 Fernanda 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 $700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $450 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $170 • Transport of the deceased: $80 Thank you for reading my story. - Jorge
