Hannah, my grandmother, passed away on 29 June after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 87 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 $4,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 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 Hannah 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 the Essen hospice.
Where the $4,700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,750
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,350
• Transport of the deceased: $210
• Memorial gathering for the family: $390
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, Clara. I hope things turn around soon.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
stay strong, Clara. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from A Coruña
You're not alone, Clara. Shared it with a few friends. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Limoges.
Thinking of you, Clara. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
