Lipi, my grandmother, passed away on 5 October after a sudden heart attack. She was 35 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 $200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 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 Lipi 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 $200 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $40
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $125
• Memorial gathering for the family: $35
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Shapla. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
