Lily, my wife, passed away on 19 July after a short illness. She was 84 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 $6,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 July.
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 Lily 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 $6,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,500
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,850
• Transport of the deceased: $550
• Memorial gathering for the family: $200
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Mason. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Taguig.
Best of luck, Mason. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Warsaw.
Hope things get better soon, Mason. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
