Brenda, my sister, passed away on 18 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 86 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 $4,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Brenda 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 $4,650 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,450
• Memorial gathering for the family: $420
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,780
