Fatema, my sister, passed away on 23 June after a sudden heart attack. She was 38 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 July. 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 Fatema 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 $750 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $410 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240 • Transport of the deceased: $30 • Memorial gathering for the family: $70 Glad we found this place. - Joya

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

        Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. After 28 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything

          Hang in there, Joya. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up.

          • Tomoko Matsumoto

            Take care, Joya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
