Help Ellen lay Ellen to rest with dignity in Amsterdam

Amsterdam
Ellen, my mother, passed away on 24 September after a stroke. She was 88 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 $4,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Ellen 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 Amsterdam hospice. Where the $4,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,400 • Transport of the deceased: $370 • Memorial gathering for the family: $280 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ellen

        Hang in there, Ellen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Amsterdam.
