Gemma, my sister, passed away on 4 December after a road accident. She was 42 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 December.
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 Gemma 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 $1,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $510
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $390
• Transport of the deceased: $95
• Memorial gathering for the family: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Calamba.
Thank you. If you're in Calamba I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
wishing you the best, Noel. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
You're not alone, Noel. This could happen to any of us.
