Funeral costs for Lourdes's mother, Lorena
Lourdes lost her mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,050.

Lorena, my mother, passed away on 13 April after a road accident. She was 58 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 April.
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 Lorena 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 $1,050 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $180
• Memorial gathering for the family: $155
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $715
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
