Help Melanie lay Rebecca to rest with dignity in Warren
Melanie lost her wife suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,600.
🇺🇸 Warren, Michigan, United States2,375 views
Rebecca, my wife, passed away on 10 November after a sudden heart attack. She was 40 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 $3,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 November.
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 Rebecca 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $170
• Transport of the deceased: $230
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,200
Every share and every dollar helps.
