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. - Lourdes
