Natalia, my grandmother, passed away on 22 January after a short illness. She was 25 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Natalia 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $950 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $380 • Funeral home services and casket: $470 • Memorial gathering for the family: $100 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Vera
