Marta, my grandmother, passed away on 9 September after a stroke. She was 78 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 $1,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 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 Marta 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 $1,650 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $340
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,240
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Pilar. Shared it with a few friends. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care!
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Pilar. Your post was clear and honest. I hope December is when things finally get easier
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Sending love, Pilar. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Utrecht.
