Leni, my mother, passed away on 9 August after complications from pneumonia. She was 72 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 $5,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 August. 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 Leni 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 $5,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,050 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,600 • Transport of the deceased: $380 • Memorial gathering for the family: $220 Thank you for reading my story.

          Wishing you peace, Vanessa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Colombo.

          • Wilfredo B. Mercado

            Sending strength, Vanessa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
