Natalia, my sister, passed away on 28 February after a short illness. 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 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 Natalia 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 $850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $620 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $135 • Transport of the deceased: $45 • Memorial gathering for the family: $50 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Artem

      Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $620. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Artem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours.

    • Rooting for you, Artem. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
