Saint-Denis
Awa, my mother, passed away on 31 August after a road accident. She was 93 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 $3,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 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 Awa 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 $3,800 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,050 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $610 • Transport of the deceased: $140 I hope life is good to you.
