Nalini, my sister, passed away on 27 February after a short illness. She was 88 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 $1,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 March. 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 Nalini 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 $1,500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $910 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $410 • Transport of the deceased: $100 • Memorial gathering for the family: $80 If you're reading this, thank you.

      Take care, Mandla. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Timișoara.

          It's all in the list in the story. funeral home services and casket is the big one at $910, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
