Alexandra, my wife, passed away on 8 October after a road accident. She was 53 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 $2,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 Alexandra 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 $2,600 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $520
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,600
• Transport of the deceased: $480
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Leeds this morning. Blessings
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Beth.
Memorial gathering for the family is $520 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Good luck, Beth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. All the best!
how is Beth doing now?
Rooting for you, Beth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours.
So sorry you're going through this, Beth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Portland.
so sorry you're going through this, Beth. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Accra.
Thanks for sharing this, Beth. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
take care. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Cambridge
