Mame, my mother, passed away on 26 August after a stroke. She was 37 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 $4,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Mame 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 the Boulogne-Billancourt hospice. Where the $4,300 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $420 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $870 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,010 Thanks for being kind about this. - Modou
