Donna, my sister, passed away on 19 September after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 81 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 $3,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 October.
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 Donna 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 $3,700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,800
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,700
• Memorial gathering for the family: $200
