Funeral costs for Luis's mother, Sarah
Luis lost his mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,050.

Sarah, my mother, passed away on 28 November after a stroke. She was 36 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 $3,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 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 Sarah 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 $3,050 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,950
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $490
• Transport of the deceased: $370
• Memorial gathering for the family: $240
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
