Help Josephine lay Liliana to rest with dignity in Wollongong

After the sudden passing of Liliana, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

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.

      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.
