Help Emma lay Paula to rest with dignity in Frankfurt
Paula passed away on 22 April; we're raising $3,250 for a respectful funeral in Frankfurt.

Paula, my grandmother, passed away on 22 April after complications from pneumonia. She was 84 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 $3,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 April.
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 Paula 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 $3,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,050
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $590
• Transport of the deceased: $410
• Memorial gathering for the family: $200
Thank you so much.
