Katherine, my wife, passed away on 1 October after a sudden heart attack. She was 50 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 $4,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 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 Katherine 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 $4,650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,450 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $530 • Transport of the deceased: $430 • Memorial gathering for the family: $240 If you're reading this, thank you.
