Victoria, my sister, passed away on 25 August after complications from pneumonia. She was 31 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 $2,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 September. 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 Victoria 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 $2,000 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $420 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100 • Transport of the deceased: $480 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Lawrence

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($393 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $315 raised so far (16%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

          • this could happen to any of us. After 13 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
