Jimena, my sister, passed away on 20 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 29 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 $4,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 Jimena 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 $4,250 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $380 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $660 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,210 Thanks for reading all this. - Rodrigo

        Take care, Rodrigo. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings

        • keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done!

          • Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Surrey this morning. All the best.
