Anna, my sister, passed away on 5 July after a stroke. She was 38 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 $3,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 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 Anna 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 $3,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $870 • Transport of the deceased: $380 • Memorial gathering for the family: $400 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Robert
