Amanda, my mother, passed away on 19 February after a road accident. She was 82 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 $300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 February.
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 Amanda 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 local food bank.
Where the $300 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $170
• Memorial gathering for the family: $75
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Lucas
Good news. Because of your gifts ($278 in total) I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there, Lucas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Love from Quezon City.
