Melanie, my wife, passed away on 19 September after a stroke. She was 65 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 $4,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 October. 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 Melanie 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 $4,600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,550 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250 • Transport of the deceased: $450 • Memorial gathering for the family: $350 Thanks for being kind about this. - Madelyn

          Rooting for you, Madelyn. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Móstoles.
