Cláudia, my mother, passed away on 25 September after a short illness. She was 80 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 $1,150 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 Cláudia 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 $1,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $710 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $320 • Transport of the deceased: $85 • Memorial gathering for the family: $35 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Manuela

    Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Pasig

              You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
