Petra, my wife, passed away on 23 April after a sudden heart attack. She was 40 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 $5,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 May. 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 Petra 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 $5,200 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,200 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,650 • Transport of the deceased: $190 • Memorial gathering for the family: $160 Thanks for reading all this. - Wilma
