Gabriela, my mother, passed away on 1 September after a short illness. She was 54 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 $3,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 September. 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 Gabriela 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 $3,750 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $630 • Transport of the deceased: $520 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,600 Thank you for reading my story. - Mariana
