Ella, my mother, passed away on 16 December after complications from pneumonia. She was 86 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 $6,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 January. 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 Ella 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 $6,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,600 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $2,100 • Memorial gathering for the family: $300 With deep gratitude, Matthew
