Help Carmela lay Imelda to rest with dignity in Santa Rosa
After the sudden passing of Imelda, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇵🇭 Philippines589 views
Imelda, my sister, passed away on 26 August after a road accident. She was 38 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 September.
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 Imelda 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 $700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $430
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $195
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck, Carmela. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Praying for you, Carmela. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from San Antonio.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Carmela
It's all in the list in the story. funeral home services and casket is the big one at $430, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update

Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Take care.

Good luck, Carmela. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Carmela. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 22 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Praying for you, Carmela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier.

Looking forward to the next update. After 28 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Karachi
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Kozhikode donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Carmela. Shared it with a few friends. After 9 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Rooting for you, Carmela. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Take care
