Imelda, my sister, passed away on 23 September after a road accident. She was 50 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 $5,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 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 Imelda 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 the Los Angeles hospice.
Where the $5,400 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $360
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,750
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,290
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Orlando. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Akron so I could bring a meal. Love from Brisbane.
take care, Orlando. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

Hang in there, Orlando. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
good luck, Orlando. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
