Kimberly, my grandmother, passed away on 18 September after a short illness. She was 32 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 $3,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 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 Kimberly 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 Brooklyn hospice.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,450
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $790
• Transport of the deceased: $185
• Memorial gathering for the family: $175
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Hannah
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,115 in total) I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 46% thanks to 40 of you. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Brooklyn!
Thank you. If you're in Brooklyn I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Sending strength, Hannah. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Fresno but we're thinking of you. Love from Fresno.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Brooklyn
Thinking of you and your family, Hannah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Saint Petersburg this morning. Thinking of Brooklyn
