Help Bella lay Beth to rest with dignity in Minneapolis

Bella lost her sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,500.

Beth, my sister, passed away on 17 September after a road accident. She was 93 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 $1,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 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 Beth 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 the Minneapolis hospice. Where the $1,500 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $280 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $870 • Transport of the deceased: $350 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Bella

Updates from Bella

  1. Update from Minneapolis: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 79% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Quick update: $349 raised so far (23%). I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 65% now ($974). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees.
