Help Grace lay Bella to rest with dignity in Rochester
Grace lost her grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,600.
🇺🇸 Rochester, New York, United States4,970 views
Bella, my grandmother, passed away on 28 June after a road accident. She was 85 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 3 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 Bella 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: $3,250
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $930
• Transport of the deceased: $240
• Memorial gathering for the family: $180

Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,098 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
