Corrie, my sister, passed away on 17 February after a road accident. She was 47 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 $1,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Corrie 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 $1,800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,450
• Transport of the deceased: $150
• Memorial gathering for the family: $200
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
