Michelle, my sister, passed away on 17 August after a road accident. She was 76 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 $4,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 August. 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 Michelle 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 Houston hospice. Where the $4,900 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $770 • Transport of the deceased: $350 • Memorial gathering for the family: $380 Every share and every dollar helps. - Gianna

Updates from Gianna

  1. Small update. $701 so far, we've started the first stage.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($277 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 3% funded and the plan for memorial gathering for the family is now scheduled.
