Faith, my grandmother, passed away on 18 July after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 46 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 $6,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 July. 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 Faith 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 $6,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,850 • Transport of the deceased: $450 • Memorial gathering for the family: $450 With deep gratitude, Deborah
