Irene, my grandmother, passed away on 27 August after a short illness. She was 48 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 $3,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 September. 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 Irene 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 $3,350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,250 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $960 • Transport of the deceased: $140 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Ángel
