Patricia, my grandmother, passed away on 1 February after a sudden heart attack. She was 89 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 $1,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 February. 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 Patricia 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 a local food bank. Where the $1,400 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $960 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250 • Transport of the deceased: $65 • Memorial gathering for the family: $125 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
