Violet, my grandmother, passed away on 26 April after a short illness. She was 49 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 $5,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 May.
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 Violet 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 $5,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,400
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,200
• Transport of the deceased: $420
• Memorial gathering for the family: $230
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
