Liliana, my grandmother, passed away on 3 December after complications from pneumonia. She was 30 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 17 December. 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 Liliana 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 $4,500 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,550 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250 • Transport of the deceased: $240 • Memorial gathering for the family: $460 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Uberlândia.

    • Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

      • You're not alone, Josephine. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Wollongong.
