Stephanie, my sister, passed away on 27 February after a road accident. She was 49 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 $4,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 March. 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 Stephanie 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 $4,600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100 • Transport of the deceased: $490 • Memorial gathering for the family: $360 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Emma

  1. Update from Southampton: the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    • Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
