Help Jasmine lay Perla to rest with dignity in Manila
Perla passed away on 3 July; we're raising $1,100 for a respectful funeral in Manila.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines724 views
Perla, my mother, passed away on 3 July after a long fight with kidney disease. 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 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 Perla 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 a local food bank.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $690
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280
• Transport of the deceased: $80
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
Thank you so much.
