Ciara, my grandmother, passed away on 26 March after a short illness. She was 29 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 $3,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 April. 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 Ciara 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 $3,800 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,150 • Memorial gathering for the family: $210 • Transport of the deceased: $440 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Seamus

Updates from Seamus

  1. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($256). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 4% funded and I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased.
