Clara, my mother, passed away on 25 June after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 58 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 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 Clara 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 local food bank. Where the $4,500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,750 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $950 • Transport of the deceased: $440 • Memorial gathering for the family: $360 Thanks for reading all this. - Silas
