Rachel, my sister, passed away on 3 June after a short illness. She was 27 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 June. 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 Rachel 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 $1,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $730 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $185 • Transport of the deceased: $90 • Memorial gathering for the family: $45 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • hope it all works out, Megan. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Pasig.

              sending love. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
