Florence, my sister, passed away on 15 January after a short illness. She was 32 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 $4,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 January. 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 Florence 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 $4,850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,600 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $890 • Transport of the deceased: $210 • Memorial gathering for the family: $150 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Mathieu
