Rowena, my sister, passed away on 1 March after a stroke. She was 71 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 March. 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 Rowena 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 $650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $310 • Transport of the deceased: $45 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $295 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Romeo

  1. Update from Makati: I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. We're at 87% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($361 in total) the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
