Dayton
Nora, my sister, passed away on 23 June after a stroke. She was 61 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 $4,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 July. 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 Nora 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 $4,150 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $450 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $940 • Funeral home services and casket: $2,760 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
