Riley, my sister, passed away on 2 September after a stroke. She was 73 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 $6,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 September.
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 Riley 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 $6,950 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $4,200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,800
• Transport of the deceased: $460
• Memorial gathering for the family: $490
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Henry. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Thinking of you and your family, Henry. Shared this with my family. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Sending strength, Henry. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Philadelphia but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Oakland.
Sending love, Henry. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Buenos Aires so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Oakland.
