Michelle, my mother, passed away on 8 February after a short illness. She was 79 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 $4,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 February. 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 Michelle 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 $4,700 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $330 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,900 • Transport of the deceased: $470 Every share and every dollar helps. - Maria

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Mississauga.

        • Thinking of you and your family, Maria. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          • Rooting for you, Maria. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.

            • So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
